In "Ruthless (Arena Mix)," Kacey Musgraves & The Hunger Games turn a promise of safety into a vow of fierce protection. Trust has been earned, and a love that prefers peace still refuses silence when the beloved is threatened. The image of burning bridges without looking back, then building a new one together, captures devotion that is destructive only toward outside harm. Tenderness and ruthlessness become the same loyalty, offered without hesitation.
Ruthless (Arena Mix) Lyrics by Kacey Musgraves & The Hunger Games
All I wanted, all I needed
Was to feel safe
Here you are, you earned my trust
It’s something I won’t break
I don’t believe in violence
But you know I won’t be silent
I’m a lover, not a fighter
But if anyone tried to hurt you
I would be ruthless for you
Do something crazy? You know I would, baby
I swear I’ve got your heart and if it came down to it
I would be ruthless
If they crossed you, I’d burn the bridges
Without looking back
Then, together, we’d build a new one
We’ve got a love like that
But if anyone tried to hurt you
I would be ruthless for you
Do something crazy? You know I would, baby
I swear I’ve got your heart and if it came down to it
I would be ruthless
I would be ruthless
I don’t believe in violence
But you know I won’t be silent
I’m a lover, not a fighter
(I try to keep the peace)
I don’t believe in violence
But you know I won’t be silent
I’m a lover, not a fighter
But if anyone tried to hurt you
I would be ruthless for you
Do something crazy? I know I would, baby
If anyone tried to hurt you
I would be ruthless for you
(I try to keep the peace)
I would be ruthless
