[Verse 1]
I'm putting you out of your misery
'Cause darling you're dragging me down
I wish I could say that I'm sorry
But I'm over that now, I'm taking you out
It's a cruel, cruel world

[Verse 2]
I used to see beauty in people
But now I see muscle and bones
You know I never wanted to hurt you
But I'm sorry, my friend, this is the end

[Chorus]
So I'm saying my goodbyes
Goodbye to my good side
It only ever got me hurt
And I finally learned
It's a cruel, cruel world
It's a cruel, cruel world

[Bridge]
Erase you from my mind
I’m sorry, but I, I’m cuttin' all the ties

[Chorus]
So I'm saying my goodbyes
Goodbye to my good side
It only ever got me hurt
And I finally learned
It's a cruel, cruel world
It's a cruel, cruel world
Cruel, cruel world
