Bono - So Cruel lyrics

rate me

We crossed the line, who pushed who over?<br />

It doesn't matter to you, it matters to me.<br />

We're cut adrift, but still floating.<br />

I'm only hanging on to watch you go down, my love.<br />

<br />

I disappeared in you<br />

You disappeared from me.<br />

I gave you everything you ever wanted<br />

It wasn't what you wanted.<br />

The men who love you, you hate the most<br />

They pass right through you like a ghost.<br />

They look for you, but your spirit is in the air.<br />

Baby, you're nowhere.<br />

<br />

Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules.<br />

Oh, love, sweet-heart, you're so cruel.<br />

<br />

Desperation is a tender trap<br />

It gets you every time.<br />

You put your lips to her lips<br />

To stop the lie.<br />

Her skin is pale like God's only dove<br />

Screams like an angel for your love<br />

Then she makes you watch her from above<br />

And you need her like a drug.<br />

<br />

Oh, love, you say in love there are no rules.<br />

Oh, love, sweet-heart, you're so cruel.<br />

<br />

She wears my love like a see-through dress<br />

Her lips say one thing, her movements something else.<br />

Oh, love, like a screaming flower<br />

Love dying every hour.<br />

Ah, you don't know if it's fear or desire,<br />

Danger the drug that takes you higher?<br />

Head of heaven, fingers in the mire<br />

Her heart is racing you can't keep up.<br />

The night is bleeding like a cut<br />

Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled underfoot.<br />

<br />

Oh, love, to stay with you I'd be a fool.<br />

Oh, sweetheart, you're so cruel.
