My Cruel Ways

I closed my eyes, a blind and cold-hearted fool,

Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you

So close to losing you

Misread your smile, misunderstood your tears,

Ignored the pleading voice and every sigh

Even your words of love I would not listen

It's a lesson I'll never forget

No communication gave rise to fear

Tell me, who's to blame

What I really meant to tell you I panicked,

'cause I would die if something happened to you

I'd die if something would

But I'm so spoilt by your patience and devotion

That only now I recognize some of my cruel ways

Some of my cruel ways

Maybe it's good, maybe it was meant to be

There was no other way you could get through

Now it's my turn to get through to you baby

It's a lesson I'll never forget

No communication gave rise to fear

Tell me, who's to blame

What I really meant to tell you, I need you

And I would die if something happened to you

I'd die if something would

What I really meant to tell you, I love you

And I would die if something happened to you

I'd die if something would

What I tried to tell you baby, what I tried to tell you darling

Could not live without you honey, would not live without you, no

If only you were with me baby, if only you were with me darling

'Cause I've been waiting for you honey, I've been waiting for you

I closed my eyes, a blind and cold-hearted fool,

Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you,

So close to losing you

So close to losing you
