Seven days, still awake
Subtle pain, bitter pills are hard to take
This summer rain's falling and I can't get up
I've called you but you won't pick up
And I'm so tired, I think my mind needs to rewire
My eyes are opening wide, as our love fades from color
(Cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer
Be a cruel summer (Cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer
Be a cruel summer (Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
Summer nights, getting high just to feel alive
Bed all day, the better days are still behind
I've been feeling so messed up, and honestly it's not enough
But I don't mind, he'd rather be cruel than rewind
Tell me, does it hurt inside?
You're such a cold, cold lover
(Cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer (Cruel, cruel summer)
Be a cruel summer (Cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer
Be a cruel summer (Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer (Cruel, cruel summer)
Be a cruel summer (Cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer
Be a cruel summer (Cruel, cruel summer)
