You've got to be cruel to be kind
Impressed on me directly when I lose my mind
When I think of all the awful things I've done
Oh it's so hard being the sensitive one
Being cruel to be kind
It's so nice to know
Right from your wrong (Right from wrong)
It just speaks to me from high now
When I feel on song
Disbarring me from all the rules you read
Exonerating me of all the things you said
Being cruel to be kind
You got to be cruel to be kind
Just look at all the pink wrecks that I left behind
When I think of all the awful things I've done
It's so hard to be the sensitive one
Being cruel to be kind
