  • I'm putting you out of your misery
    'Cause darling you're dragging me down
    I wish I could say that I'm sorry
    But I'm over that, now I'm taking you out
    It's a cruel, cruel world

    I used to see beauty in people
    But now I see muscle and bones
    You know I never wanted to hurt you
    But I'm sorry, my friend, this is the end

    So I'm saying my goodbyes
    Goodbye to my good side
    It only ever got me hurt
    And I finally learned
    It's a cruel, cruel world
    It's a cruel, cruel world

    Erase you from my mind
    I'm sorry, but I
    I'm cutting all the ties

    So I'm saying my goodbyes
    Goodbye to my good side
    It only ever got me hurt
    And I finally learned
    It's a cruel, cruel world
    It's a cruel, cruel world
