lyrics

I'll write a message in the mirror again
Tell me exactly what I wanna hear
I'm not sure why we keep playing pretend
I guess nothing is as it appears

One time
You're cruel to me
Two times
You're cruel to me
Three times
You're cruel to me
But I'll just let this fester baby

You said
We're meant to be
You said
You're my everything
More times
You're cruel to me
And now I guess I finally see

So lie to me, lie to yourself
About just how you feel
I hate to tell you but
Painfully so, woefully so, love isn't real
Don't pull the wool over my eyes
Believe me I get the appeal
But painfully so, woefully so, love isn't real

I guess it's time to message you again
To hear the latest version of events
Try to understand everything that we do
And not to say "I wish I never met you"

One time
You're cruel to me
Two times
You're cruel to me
Three times
You're cruel to me
But boy I love the company when

You say
I love you so
You say
Never let me go
More times
You're cruel to me
What if love just isn't real?
