Crueler Kind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wouldn't worry
Your melodramas are embarrassing


My cripple Henry
Imagine menace under everything
I wouldn't worry
I'm not about to fall in love again


It's not a moment
It's just a crueler kind of punishment

[Chorus]
When you've given up the sun
And your heart is awful empty
We'll the best is yet to come
Love, the enemy

[Bridge]
I wouldn't worry
I'm not about to fall in love again

It's not a moment
It's just a crueler kind of punishment

[Chorus]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
