[Intro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh


[Verse 1]

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night

You know that I caught it

A bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price

You know that I bought it


[Pre-Chorus]

Killing me slow, out the window

I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

What doesn't kill me makes me want you more


[Chorus]

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, this feeling I've got

And it's ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer

And it's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer with you


[Verse 2]

Hang your head low in the glow of the vеnding machine

I'm not dying

We say that we'll just scrеw it up in these trying times

We're not trying


[Pre-Chorus]

So cut the headlights, summer's a knife

I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know


[Chorus]

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, this feeling I've got

And it's ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer

And it's cool, that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer with you


[Bridge]

I'm drunk in the back of the car

And I cried like a baby comin' home from the bar

Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true

I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you

And I snuck in through the garden gate

Every night that summer just to seal my fate

And I scream, "For whatever it's worth

I love you, ain't that the worst thing that you ever heard?"

He looks up, grinnin' like a devil


[Chorus]

And it's new, the shape of your body

It's blue, this feeling I've got

And it's ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer

And it's cool (Oh), that's what I tell 'em

No rules in breakable heaven

But ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer with you


[Outro]

(Ooh) It's a cruel summer

Ooh, woah-oh

It's a cruel summer with you
