Cruel to Be Kind

Well I done my time in the jail of your mind
 And I dug all I could toward the good of your kind
 Oh they say it's better to be twisted black and blue
 Chopped down like an old wooden tree and planted new
 Than it is to spend a lifetime in the jail of your mind
 But you don't have to be cruel to be kind
 And you don't have to be a fool to be blind
 And you don't have to be a down and out
 To be down sometimes
 Well her dreams were full of dreams like leaves in the wind
 Scattered to the edges of the world and then they're back again
 Woah, there's more to me than you can see from here, my friends
 Here, there are no why's, so why must you pretend
 But I hear my critics laugh, he's my only friend
 And you don't have to be cruel to be kind
 And you don't have to be a fool to be blind
 And you don't have to be a down and out
 To be down sometimes
 ♪
 And now that I'm free from the jail of your mind
 And I feel rather tied like a crying child
 And I wanted to be better than the rest
 New kind of man, lot more than blood and flesh
 But now I'm left on my own in the jail of my mind
 And you don't have to be cruel to be kind
 And you don't have to be a fool to be blind
 And you don't have to be a down and out
 To be down sometimes
 And you don't have to be cruel to be kind
 And you don't have to be a fool to be blind
 And you don't have to be a down and out
 To be down sometimes
