How To Keep Your Heart Hate-Free

Why be cruel
Tel l me why be cruel
There’s a brave new world that’s waiting
Something is keeping you in
Why put them down
They’ve got lots of other things to worry about right now
And though you’re not the first
Your hostile still hurts
But how to keep your heart hate-free
I don’t know so don’t ask me
Why not turn your cheek
Well if kindness is the mark of the weak
Please let me be, let me lie down so low
And crumble to become complete
Where does love go when it leaves
Does it climb in my pocket to hang with my house keys…
So why be cruel
Tell me why be cruel
There’s a brave new world that’s waiting
Something is keeping me in
True they stooped low
But I knock them and raise them ten fold
In a circular game
It’s so hard to refrain
But how to keep your heart hate-free
I don’t know
The exchange started slow
You were thoughtful and thought I should know
So I opened my mind
Held my tongue for a time
Til a straw sent me tumbling down, down, down
Stranger than the fight
It was quiet and harder to make right
But righteous from wrong will reveal in a song
Called how to keep your heart-hate free
Forget it, and move on
Why be cruel
Tell me why be cruel
There’s a brave new world that’s waiting
Nothing is keeping us in (repeat)
