Johnny Van Zant – Love Can Be So Cruel lyrics

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 nothing's fair
Our last embrace was a slap in the face
You left me with a hunger thai 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

(repeat chorus)
Fade-out
