Lyrics: Johnny Van Zant. Love Can Be So Cruel.

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
