I know what's round the corner
You'll think I'm out of order
It's crazy but I have no choice at all
I look to the horizon
But there's no compromising
I'm sharpening my double-edged sword
I must hurt u
'Cause I love you
I must hurt u
I want the best for you
If I desert you
And do the right thing
Can I let you believe I was untrue?
I promise you will never know
There's no other way you'll let me go
I'll be cruel to be kind
Punchline of a twisted joke
Cross my heart I won't let it show
I'll be cruel to be kind
To be kind
To be kind
I'm not good at lying
Don't want to see you crying
It's torture not to break the fall
You can curse my name
If that will keep you sane
I won't return your call
I must hurt u
'Cause I love you
I must hurt u
I want the best for you
If I desert you
And do the right thing
Can I let you believe I was untrue?
I promise you will never know
There's no other way you'll let me go
I'll be cruel to be kind
Punchline of a twisted joke
Cross my heart I won't let it show
I'll be cruel to be kind
To be kind
To be kind
And I'll always wonder what it could have been
Every step of the way when I'm looking back
'Cause you're the one for me
you're the one for me
you're the one for me (but I've got to let you go)
I promise you will never know
There's no other way you'll let me go
I'll be cruel to be kind
Punchline of a twisted joke
Cross my heart I won't let it show
I'll be cruel to be kind
To be kind
To be kind
