MY CRUEL BELOVED [Intro] (Soft acoustic guitar, gentle piano, deep husky male voice) [Verse 1] I have a love, the light of my life, My rose, my dream, my heart's desire. Night after night, I call your name, Lost in the silence, consumed by the flame. How did my heart become so weak? Your love is the only dream I seek. [Chorus] Without you, this world feels so small, I reach for you, but I lose it all. One look from you sets my soul on fire, You're my heartbreak, my one desire. Oh, cruel beloved, cold as the rain, I love you still through all this pain. [Verse 2] Every glance of yours burns deep inside, There's nowhere left for my heart to hide. My patience is fading, my hopes turn to tears, I'm losing my way in these lonely years. I know your heart can be cold as stone, Yet I can't stop loving you alone. [Chorus] Without you, this world feels so small, I reach for you, but I lose it all. One look from you sets my soul on fire, You're my heartbreak, my one desire. Oh, cruel beloved, cold as the rain, I love you still through all this pain. [Verse 3] So many hearts have fallen for your flame, So many dreamers whisper your name. Am I the loneliest soul in this world? With every wound, my heart comes unfurled. This restless sorrow won't let me go, A love so deep that it hurts me so. [Chorus] Without you, this world feels so small, I reach for you, but I lose it all. One look from you sets my soul on fire, You're my heartbreak, my one desire. Oh, cruel beloved, cold as the rain, I love you still through all this pain. [Outro] (Music slowly fades, whispered in a deep, husky voice) Don't forget... you're still in my heart... My one true love... my world, my light... My cruel beloved... still on my mind...
