cruel

James Arthur

You left your anti-depressants on the dresser
It s a freezing cold reminder of all of the pressure
We stole serotonin from the moments between comas
By the way, by the way, I still have your letter
I still hold on to your confessions
I still lie about getting better
Do you still obsess about the meta?
I think we were good together
Do you remember?

I get it, you were the dancing queen, oh, I
But you were never just that to me, oh, I
I guess I thought you d come back for me
Now I drink to drown you out
I talk shit about you, isn t it cruel
That I never got to say goodbye to you?

They tell me you met somebody new
I hope you ruin it
I m on some petty shit
cause you never left me with anything
Do you remember
When we would throw on those ABBA records?
When you were anything but pretentious?
To your love, I was defenseless
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

I get it, you were the dancing queen, oh, I
But you were never just that to me, oh, I
I guess I thought you d come back for me
Now I drink to drown you out
I talk shit about you, isn t it cruel
I never got to say goodbye to you?

And all I wanted was to say goodbye
To the dancing queen
Oh, yeah

I get it, you were the dancing queen, oh, I
But you were never just that to me, oh, I
I guess I thought you d come back for me
Now I drink to drown you out
I talk shit about you, isn t it cruel (Cruel)
I never got to say goodbye to you?
