Lyrics: So Cruel

We crossed the line, who pushed who over? It doesn't matter to you, it matters to me. We're cut adrift, but still floating. I'm only hanging on to watch you go down, my love. I disappeared in you You disappeared from me. I gave you everything you ever wanted It wasn't what you wanted. The men who love you, you hate the most They pass right through you like a ghost. They look for you, but your spirit is in the air. Baby, you're nowhere. Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules. Oh, love, sweet-heart, you're so cruel. Desperation is a tender trap It gets you every time. You put your lips to her lips To stop the lie. Her skin is pale like God's only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug. Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules. Oh, love, sweet-heart, you're so cruel. She wears my love like a see-through dress Her lips say one thing, her movements something else. Oh, love, like a screaming flower Love dying every hour. Ah, you don't know if it's fear or desire, Danger the drug that takes you higher? Head of heaven, fingers in the mire Her heart is racing you can't keep up. The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled underfoot. Oh, love, to stay with you I'd be a fool. Oh, sweetheart, you're so cruel.
