holly humberstone cruel world lyrics

[verse 1]
say it back
i need to hear you, need your baby back
i play it cool
i miss your kisses on a feedback loop

[pre-chorus]
and now the lights are gettin' low
mirrorballs and pheromones
i can be a social hand grenade
tick-tick-tick-tick boom
and everybody's gettin' close
taking off each other's clothes
i wonder where you are tonight

[chorus]
it's a cruel world without you, baby
it's a cruel world
sugar, don't you be running away for long, please
let's catch a movie and get caught in the rain
wherever you are is my favourite place
and it's a cruel world without you, baby

[verse 2]
so sad
you're playin' shows, i comatose in my bed
(yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
and i'll be going out tonight
i don't know what else to do with myself

[pre-chorus]
there'll be modern lovers holding tight
under ultraviolet light
before i kill the buzz, i might
curl-curl-curl up and die
and everybody's gettin' close
taking off each other's clothes
i wonder where you are tonight

[chorus]
and it's a cruel world without you, baby
it's a cruel world
no, sugar, don't you be running away for long, please
we're hand in hand as the band starts to play
wherever you are is my favourite place
and it's a cruel world without you, baby

[post-chorus]
it's a cruel world without your arms around me
need you close to me, close to me, i
how am i supposed to breathe without you, babe?
i need you touching me, touching me

[chorus]
it's a cruel world without you, baby, oh, yeah
it's a cruel world
sugar, don't you be running away for long, please
take off your shoes and stick around for a change
it could be real cute if this time you stayed
it's a cruel world without you, baby

[outro]
(it's a cruel world without your arms around me)
(need you close to me, close to me) hey-yeah-yeah-yeah, hey-yeah-yeah-yeah
it's a real cruel world, my baby (how am i supposed to breathe without you, babe?)
it's a cruel, cruel world
yeah
