[Intro]
Is it too late to get closer?
It it too late to get closure?
Is it too late to get closer, to you?
[Verse 1]
I called, 7 times the other day, ooh
That's 7 times ignoring me
I'd love it, if you'd see me to hear what I'd say
And I've been, I've been driving endlessly
Reminding myself of what we used to be
But nothing, nothing could ever please me
It's all velveteen
[Chorus]
When I'm around someone new
I swear it feels so wrong
When I think how could somebody
Be so cruel?
[Verse 2]
Livin' all alone need to answer your phone
Left a message at the tone
Drinking with my friends
Tryna feel like my own
Now I'm sippin' all alone
Tryna hear I love you
But I think you've overgrown
Is it true you moved on?
Oh you did me so wrong
[Chorus]
When I'm around someone new
I swear it feels so wrong
When I think how could somebody
Be so cruel?
[Outro]
Be so cruel, be so cruel (Ooh)
Be so cruel, be so cruel (Cruel)
Be so cruel, be so cruel (Cruel)
Be so cruel, be so cruel (Too late-too late)
