Seven days, still awake
Subtle pain, bitter pills
Are hard to take
The summer rain's falling and I can't get up
I've called you but you won't pick up
And I'm so tired
I think my mind needs to rewire
Your eyes are open and wide
As our love fades from color
Cruel, cruel summer
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer
Be a cruel summer (cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer
Be a cruel summer (cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
Summer nights, getting high
Just to feel alive, bed all day
The better days are still behind
I've been feeling so messed up
And honestly, it's not enough
But I don't mind
He'd rather be cruel than rewind
Tell me, does it hurt inside?
You're such a cold, cold lover (cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer (cruel, cruel summer)
Be a cruel summer (cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer
Be a cruel summer (cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
(Cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer (cruel, cruel summer)
Be a cruel summer (cruel, cruel summer)
'Cause this is real life, real life
I feel like real love, really hurts
It's gonna be a cruel summer
Be a cruel summer (cruel, cruel summer)
