To Be Cruel

[Verse 1]
Do I chase you
Or do I let you go?
I let you keep your life private
The only thing you know
When you're done hiding
You'll understand
The love that feeds you
Has your heart in her hand

[Chorus]
I pity you too much to be cruel
I'm the last thing between bliss and you
Even if you make me the fool
Turns out that I'll be laughing at you
I pity you too much to be cruel
This is the last breath I breathe for you
I will be loved, you'll be alone

[Verse 2]
Do I give in
Or do I try to fight?
Situations we're in
Just fuel the fire
I'm burning
Bridges to your island
You try to cross me
All that it cost me
Was my pride

[Chorus]
I pity you too much to be cruel
I'm the last thing between bliss and you
Even if you make me the fool
Turns out that I'll be laughing at you
I pity you too much to be cruel
This is the last breath I breathe for you
I will be loved, you'll be alone

[Bridge]
The money made
No amount can pay
The regret from giving to a wolf in disguise
But I'm through with it
'Cause I recognize
The loss I feel is less than your lonely life
All the plans we made
Slipping down the drain
In the vein
You don't know yourself
So I stopped loving you

[Chorus]
I pity you too much to be cruel
I'm the last thing between bliss and you
Even if you make me the fool
Turns out that I'll be laughing at you
I pity you too much to be cruel
This is the last breath I breathe for you
I will be loved, you'll be alone
