You keep on falling, but you won’t stand tall

Looking for someone to break your fall

I tried to help you, I tried to stay

But love isn't real if it fades away

I tried to hold on, I tried to stay

But sometimes the best thing is walking away

I've got to be cruel to be kind

Got to break your heart to open your eyes

You’ll hate me now, but you’ll see in time

I had to burn it down

To save your life

I've got to be cruel to be kind

Croooooooooool to be kind..

You call me heartless, say I don’t care

But drowning with you won’t get us anywhere

You need the fire, you need the fight

And I can’t keep feeding your pretty lies

I tried to hold on, I tried to stay

But sometimes the best thing is walking away

I've got to be cruel to be kind

Got to break your heart to open your eyes

You’ll hate me now, but you’ll see in time

I had to burn it down

To save your life

I've got to be cruel to be kind

Croooooooooool to be kind..

One day you’ll thank me when you’re stronger

One day you’ll see why I’m gone

I took the fall so you could rise

This was never easy, but it had to be done

I've got to be cruel to be kind

Got to break your heart to open your eyes

You’ll hate me now, but you’ll see in time

I had to burn it down

To save your life

I've got to be cruel to be kind

You’ll hate me now…

But you’ll thank me someday…
