My Cruel Ways (Instrumental) Basia Songtext
von Basia

I closed my eyes, a blind and cold-hearted fool
Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you
So close to losing you
Misread your smile, misunderstood your tears
Ignored the pleading voice and every sigh
Even your words of love I would not listen

It′s a lesson I'll never forget
No communication gave rise to fear
Tell me, who′s to blame?
What I really meant to tell you, I panicked
'Cause I would die if something happened to you
I'd die if something would

But I′m so spoilt by your patience and devotion
That only now I recognize some of my cruel ways
Some of my cruel ways
Maybe it′s good, maybe it was meant to be
There was no other way you could get through (you could get through)
Now it's my turn to get through to you baby


It′s a lesson I'll never forget
No communication gave rise to fear
Tell me, who′s to blame?
What I really meant to tell you, I need you (I need you)
And I would die if something happened to you (if something happened to you)
I'd die if something would
What I really meant to tell you, I love you
And I would die if something happened to you (if something happened to you)
I′d die if something would

Even your words of love, I would not listen
It's a lesson I'll never forget
No communication gave rise to fear
Tell me, who′s to blame?

What I tried to tell you baby, what I tried to tell you darling
Could not live without you honey, would not live without you, no
If only you were with me baby, if only you were with me darling
′Cause I've been waiting for you honey, I′ve been waiting for you
Well, I tried to tell you

I'd die if something would
Well, I closed my eyes, a blind and cold-hearted fool
Last night I lost my mind and came so close to losing you
So close to losing you

So close to losing you
