Basia - My Cruel Ways lyrics

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
