Hey, do you love me as I am
Hey, take your monkey off my back
Hey, don't you speak to me of truth
Hey, do you reap the words I choose
While you stand inside the shadows of the noose
Did you ever really think that I was so cruel
Hey, take your fingers from my eyes
Hey, walk away the thin line
While, you stand inside the shadows of the noose
Did you ever, really think that I was so cruel
Am I so cruel
Was I so cruel
Am I so cruel
Tall are the tales that are carried around
The blood and the skin and the bruise
Where nobody hears you and nobody sees you
You're hidden away from abuse
I used to think that honour was the thing amongst thieves
That held 'em even higher than truth
Was I so cruel
Am I so cruel
Tall are the tales that are carried around
The blood and the skin and the bruise
Was I so cruel
Am I so cruel
Am I so cruel
Am I so cruel
