The song "Cruel" by Kacy Hill is about the complicated nature of love. The lyrics describe the singer's heart as being "made of wine," quick to love with an open mind. Despite being told that needing someone is wrong, the singer admits to falling deeply in love despite the cruelty and selfishness that often comes with it. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer's love is cruel and always pulling her too deep, but she keeps falling for it every time. The bridge describes the struggle to stay logical and keep her head above water when her love plunges her back into the depths of emotion. Overall, "Cruel" is a raw and honest portrayal of the difficult choices and emotions that come with falling in love, even when it's not easy or kind.
