Verse 1 Shadows dancing on the bedroom wall Waiting for a call that never comes at all You leave your ghost in every empty space A sweet memory I can't erase We built a fire just to watch it burn A heavy lesson that I had to learn Pre-Chorus You hold my heart right in your hand Just to throw it in the shifting sand One step closer, two steps back Walking down a dark and broken track Chorus Oh, this cruel, cruel love A bitter storm from skies above You warm my soul then turn to ice Paying every painful price Holding on to what is gone Left alone to face the dawn Oh, this cruel love Verse 2 Midnight whispers floating in the air Promises you made when you were never there A dangerous rhythm in the way you speak Making every strong foundation weak I keep on drinking from a poisoned well Trapped inside your bittersweet spell Pre-Chorus You hold my heart right in your hand Just to throw it in the shifting sand One step closer, two steps back Walking down a dark and broken track Chorus Oh, this cruel, cruel love A bitter storm from skies above You warm my soul then turn to ice Paying every painful price Holding on to what is gone Left alone to face the dawn Oh, this cruel love Bridge Maybe I was blind to every red light Maybe I was wrong to put up a fight You give me heaven just to pull me to the ground Silence gets so loud when you're not around Chorus Oh, this cruel, cruel love A bitter storm from skies above You warm my soul then turn to ice Paying every painful price Holding on to what is gone Left alone to face the dawn Oh, this cruel love Outro Cruel love... Fading in the morning light... I'm finally letting go tonight... Cruel love.
