The World Can Be Cruel

When I was in the hospital
And heard the dial tone
I didn’t really know back then

There wasn’t any telling
When I woke up alone
That I’d ever even see you again

Now that I’ve got better
At least more or less
My mind gets stuck on the last verse

The world can be cruel
But it’s anyone’s guess
Why people want to make it worse

I have fantasies that
We’d cross paths somehow
And you’d want to make up too

I once imagined vengeance
That part I no longer allow
All I’d say is I’ve forgiven you
