The Ruler

[Verse 1]
You're arrogant but I thought it was confidence
You're smooth so I believed the things you'd say
After a couple weeks, you were kinda mean to me
You said that you were going through some things you can't explain

[Pre-Chorus]
And you hurt me 'cause you've been hurt before
I still said sorry though I was lying on your floor

[Chorus]
I've gotten really good at being nice in times I shouldn't
I tried to empathise, rationalise the things you do
Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and find a diamond
You say it's a cruel world
Sure, but you don't have to makе it crueler
You don't have to bе the ruler

[Verse 2]
You pick me up
Then drive me round and build me up
And drop me off and drive right to her house
You own the place
At least you do inside your brain
You fantasise, arrive and then your subjects bowing down

[Pre-Chorus]
And you hurt me 'cause you've been hurt before
I still said sorry though I was crying on your floor

[Chorus]
I've gotten really good at being nice in times I shouldn't
I tried to empathise, rationalise the things you do
Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and find a diamond
You say it's a cruel world
Sure, but you don't have to make it crueler
You don't have to be the ruler

[Bridge]
You don't have to make these rules that I can't follow so you punish me in Soho
It's my fault, I should've known
I'm a smart girl with a heart of gold
And you said it right to me but now you're gone and your hands are clean

[Chorus]
I've gotten way too good at loving you in times I shouldn't
I tried to empathise, rationalise the things you do
Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and find a diamond
You say it's a cruel world
Okay
You say it's a cruel world
Sure
But you don't have to make it crueler
You don't have to be the ruler
You don't have to be the ruler
