Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't always tell the truth
They don't mind it if you're told where I'm from
Anyone I find intrusive
You won't bother if you choose me
[Verse 2]
I don't only think of you
As untitled, insecure; chloroform
I would rather stand if you stay
Why would I lie to you?
[Chorus]
My love, my love, my love is
Cruel
[Verse 3]
Buckle up, we'll chase each other
It's not a lot it's just enough to matter
Any way you want the truth is
I will marry you on Tuesday
[Verse 4]
I don't always tell the truth
If you want it you could lose, don't bother
I don't like it if you miss me
Why would I long for you?
[Chorus]
My love, my love, my love is
Cruel
[Chorus]
My love, my love, my love is
Cruel
[Outro/Instrumental]
Would I long for you?
Is it up to you?
