Lyrics
I got your letter yesterday
It seemed you had a lot to say
Throwing shadows, throwing shade
Turning words and twisting ways
And all the blood rushed to my face
My heart was screaming like a madman
Your words are nails into my grave
That’s how you wake the beast in me

You say I got cruel intentions
Come and get ’em
Holy art thou
Own opinion
So push me up against the wall
I’ll be the bad guy you’ve been waiting for
Cruel intentions
Come and get ’em

I saw the storm shape in the clouds
Cabin fever pulled you out
You said you didn’t want to fight
But got your fists ready for blood
The stage was set, the curtain hung
My words were frozen on my tongue
You took your aim and made your shot
Now the monster’s what you got

You say I got cruel intentions
Come and get ’em
Holy art thou
Own opinion
So push me up against the wall
I’ll be the bad guy you’ve been waiting for
Cruel intentions
Come and get ’em

Don’t forget who craved you
Don’t forget how it changed you
Don’t forget it made us numb
Don’t forget who claimed you
Don’t forget how it stained you
Don’t forget who saved you

You say I got cruel intentions
Come and get ’em
Holy art thou
Own opinion
So push me up against the wall
I’ll be the bad guy you’ve been waiting for
Cruel intentions
Come and get ’em
