You look at me with an empty stare   Where love once was, now nothing is there   You once lived for me, but now you don't care   If love is war baby, nothings fair      Our last embrace was a slap in the face   You left me with a hunger that time won't erase   I believed is you, you were the only one   Lookin' back I was better off playing with a loaded gun      Love can be so cruel   Love can take you for a fool   Love can be blind, if you think love is true   It'll open your eyes, oh baby   Love can be so cruel, love can be cruel      Two different minds look through two sets of eyes   And two different hearts, living two separate lives   We just can't agree, so we stop asking why   'Cause sometimes the truth hurts more than the lie      It's over now and we can't pretend   (Can't pretend)   Same thing that made us happy   Makes us cry in the end      Love can be so cruel   Love can take you for a fool   Love can be blind when you think love is true   It will open your eyes, oh baby   Love can be so cruel, there ain't no rules   Love is so cruel      And if the rain starts comin' down   Let it fall, just let it fall   'Cause it's a whole lot better to have been in love   Than to have never been in love at all      Love can be so cruel   Love can take you for a fool   Love can be blind when you think love is true   It will open your eyes, oh baby   Love can be so cruel, there ain't no rules   Love is so cruel      Love can be so cruel   Love can take you for a fool   Love can be blind when you think love is true   It will open your eyes, oh baby   Love can be so cruel, there ain't no rules   Love is so cruel
