Cruel

I know we come from different worlds
 Maybe to you I seem so typical
 ♪
 But I want to hear the truth
 I want to know what it feels like to be in your shoes
 ♪
 Maybe there is a way that we can leave space to hear hushed voices
 Baby there is a way that we can do a better job of listening
 'Cause if the world has been cruel to you
 I'll try to understand
 ♪
 Ooh, because what good can I do
 If I don't try to understand?
 ♪
 If I look totally confused
 It doesn't mean that I'm not hearing you
 ♪
 Maybe I'm wrestling with the truth
 Wondering why our world seems to be broken in two

 Maybe there is a way that we can leave space to hear hushed voices
 Baby there is a way that we can do a better job of listening

 Even when I can't (understand)

 Even when I shouldn't, I'll try to understand
