  • It's a cruel, cruel world to face on your own
    A heavy cross to carry along
    The lights are on but everyone's gone
    And it's cruel

    It's a funny way to make ends meet
    When the lights are out on every street
    It feels alright but never complete
    Without joy

    I checked you
    If it's already been done, undo it
    It takes two
    It's up to me and you to prove it

    On the rainy nights, even the coldest days
    You're moments ago but seconds away
    The principal of nature, it's true but
    It's a cruel world

    We can play it safe or play it cool
    Follow the leader or make up all the rules
    Whatever you want, the choice is yours
    So choose

    I checked you
    If it's already been done, undo it
    It takes two
    It's up to me and you to prove it

    I trust you
    It's already been done, undo it
    It takes two
    It's up to me and you to prove it

    I checked you
    If it's already been done, undo it
    It takes two
    It's up to me and you to prove it

    I trust you Writer/s: Hannah Blilie, Mary Beth Patterson, Nathan Howdeshell
