Lyrics So Cruel - U2

So Cruel

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over?
It doesn’t matter to you
It matters to me We’re cut adrift
But still floating
I’m only hanging on To watch you go down,
My love
I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn’t what you wanted
The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass through you like a ghost
They look for you, but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you’re nowhere
Ohhhh
You say in love there are no rules
Ohhhh
Sweetheart, you’re so cruel
Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie
Her skin is pale like God’s only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug
Ohhhh
You say in love there are no rules
Ohhhh
Sweetheart, you’re so cruel
She wears my love
Like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love
Like a screaming flower
Love
Dying every hour
And you don’t know if it’s fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher?
Head of heaven
Fingers in the mire
Her heart is racing, you can’t keep up The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot
Ohhhh
You say in love there are no rules
Ohhhh
Sweetheart, you’re so cruel
Ohhhh
To stay with you I’d be a fool
Ohhhh
Sweetheart, you’re so cruel
