The Ruler (London Secret Show)

[Verse 1]
You're arrogant but I thought it was confidence
You're smooth so I believed the things you'd say
But, 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
But 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 make it crueler
You don't have to be the ruler

[Verse 2]
'Cause you picked me up
Then you drive me 'round and build me up
Then drop me off and drive right to her house
I know you own the place
Well, at least you do inside your brain
You fantasise, arrive and then your subjects bowing down

[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh, you hurt me 'cause you've been hurt before
But I still said, "sorry" ("Ouch"), 'cause I was lying on your floor, and

[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]
Well, I've gotten way too good at loving you in times I really shouldn't
And I thought to empathise, rationalise the things you do
Yeah, you give me rhinestones, I'll try and make a diamond
You say it's a cruel world
Okay
Well, 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

[Outro]
"Cool, yay! Yay, OMG, so cute, ahh!"
