Cruelty

Each girl thinks she will be the one
 To love you despite all you do wrong
 Each time you make the same mistakes
 But so does she
 You think that to be a good person
 Means merely causing no one harm
 But since we're all responsible for ourselves
 It's impossible to fail
 My heart is wide open and I'll never give up hoping
 Not for your love, just for you to grow up
 Now there's one more thing you need to know
 Before the final curtains close
 It is cruel to look into a girl's eyes that way you looked in mine
 Unless you want her to fall in love with you
 It is cruel to want her to fall in love
 If you can't love her too
 (I know you can't love me too)
 Each girl I've told has been unsurprised
 They learned as I to avoid your eyes
 Now only knowing I can never win
 Would I fall in them again
 It is cruel to look into a girl's eyes that way you looked in mine
 Unless you want her to fall in love with you.
 It is cruel to want her to fall in love
 If you can't love her too
 (I know you can't love any of us too)
