I now know what everyone knows
I lost your love when I lost my clothes
In a softening bed made of sickening blows
A suffering head now knows

You saw me fall, ever smiling
Ever trying, ever knew
You made me crawl, and you were smiling
Ever cool, ever you

My naivety, that you first found endearing
And then blamed stupidity
Stripped by your cool, cool eyes
To this unity

You confuse me
You can use me
Touched by your cool, cool, hands
So impassionately

'Cause you are cruel
I don't mean that in a cool way
And you are cruel
In your cool way
And you are cruel
In such a cruel way
You are cruel
I don't mean that in a cool, cool way

The winter sun made up
Our dreams and cigarettes
Sleepless nights spent speaking of
Half-past regrets

I now know what everyone seems to know
I lost your love when I lost my clothes
In a softening bed made of softening blows
A sickening head now knows

You are cruel
I don't mean that in a cool way
And you are cruel
In such a cool, cool way
And you are cool
In such a cruel way
You are cruel
I don't mean that in a cool, cool way
