My Cruel Ways Lyrics - Sweetest Illusion - 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 

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 

and i would die 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 

i'd die if something would...

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... 

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...
