Love Is A Cruel Thing

I don't want to dwell
Upon the past
The fire in my heart
Has turned to ash
And I cannot explain
How this occurred
Used to be so full of love but
Now I'm full of hurt

Start of extrication
End of our relationship
I cannot explain it
Well it's just complicated
When you lose the feeling
When you sense the ending
Time to liquidate your stocks
Take a hit and cut your loss

And I know that you're my friend
But I can, I cannot pretend
This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing

So please don't give me
Those Bambi eyes
There's something going wrong here
We both realise
The truth is hard to take but sometimes
You just have to
Make a change, you have to rearrange
Break the chains, just take the pain

In administration
No reconciliation
Dissolve the partnership
Well it's just complicated
When you lose the feeling
When you sense the ending
Time to liquidate your stocks
Take a hit and cut your loss

And I know that you're my friend
But I can - I cannot pretend
This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing

And I feel bad enough
I just can't start
To make apologies
I didn't mean to break your heart
And I take all the blame
I claim the shame
I'm sorry that it had to end this way
To end this way

Start of extrication
End of our relationship
I cannot explain it
Well it's just complicated
When you lose the feeling
When you sense the ending
Time to liquidate your stocks
Take a hit and cut your loss

And I know that you're my friend
But I can - I cannot pretend
This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing

This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing
This love is a cruel thing
Thing, thing, thing, thing, thing, thing
