[Verse]
He said love was a game we play
Then he threw all the rules away
Cut me open with words so sharp
Heartstrings frayed like a busted harp
[Prechorus]
Do they know how deep it stings
When the truth has broken wings
[Chorus]
Cruel people play it cool
Breaking hearts like it's a rule
Oh cruel people love to lie
Turn your tears into their high
[Verse 2]
Her smile was a razor blade
Soft whispers but they betrayed
A wolf in a velvet coat
Laughed while she sank my boat
[Prechorus]
Do they feel the scars they make
Or just grin while hearts break
[Chorus]
Cruel people play it cool
Breaking hearts like it's a rule
Oh cruel people love to lie
Turn your tears into their high
