Why you gotta go and
Why you gotta go and be so cruel?
'Cause everyone around you
Everyone around you's hurting too
I can't look at you straight
I know you don't wanna change
And you've been done wrong
And no one's been there at all but
Why you gotta go and
Why you gotta go and be so cruel?
What do you have to hold on to?
What do you have to hold on to?
Wouldn't it feel so good to be
Good to be
Good to be free?
Wouldn't it feel so good to be
Good to be free?
Why you gotta go and
Why you gotta go and be so cruel?
Tell me, why you gotta go and
Why you gotta go and be so cruel?
Tell me, why you gotta go and
(The thing you hate the most is)
Why you gotta go and be so cruel?
(What you keep repeating)
Tell me, why you gotta go and
(The thing you hate the most is)
Why you gotta go and be so cruel?
(What you keep repeating)
Cruel was written by Hannah Georgas.

Hannah Georgas released Cruel on Fri Sep 04 2020.
This is the only song on the record that’s really stripped down. Aaron and I recorded this one live off the floor with our engineer Jon Low, and it feels a little bit different than the others. I guess that’s why I wanted to end it with this one.
