"Please God, oh please"
I remember crying myself to sleep
after watching you walk away
Funny how the memories fade
How could I know?
I was too young, only 3 years old
"Out of sight, out of mind" they say
but the soul remembers always
You were cruel to be kind
I didn't know it at the time
thought that I'd been left behind
You were cruel to be kind
Let the heart rest and in time
understanding comes to mind
Dreamers are loners
Searching out questions to their answers
For this you left to find your way
Like the reed with which you play
Now that I see
what a risk you took in losing me
In the name of love, joy and pain
one must sacrifice to gain
You were cruel to be kind
I didn't know it at the time
thought that I'd been left behind
You were cruel to be kind
Let the heart rest and in time
understanding comes to mind
Never spoken
Does it matter now? Words are tokens
Blood runs in our river of dreams
I'm chasing the same ones it seems, would you believe
You were cruel to be kind
I didn't know it at the time
thought that I'd been left behind
You were cruel to be kind
Let the heart rest and in time
understanding comes to mind
