"Cruel Love" lyrics

Do you remember a time
When you felt blinded by a pale and dying light?
Innocent eyes
Tracing the corners like your fingers on a knife
Then vanity comes and blows away the patience
You need to see the world
We want to be seen like the faces in the mirrors
We hold

Bury the hatchet deep where nothing can grow
And no one else can see, no one has to know
That we are the last romantic death of an era
This imitation is the cruelest kind of love
The cruelest kind of love
This imitation is the cruelest kind of love
The cruelest kind of love

Remember a time
When you felt slighted by a shifting shade of light
Watching desire
Unfold like a tragedy inside a jealous mind
Ice on the glass, crawling past the edges
Makes your blood run cold
Reality brings you back to the sensation
You know

Bury the hatchet deep where nothing can grow
And no one else can see, no one has to know
That we are the last romantic death of an era
This imitation is the cruelest kind of love
The cruelest kind of love
This imitation is the cruelest kind of love
The cruelest kind of love

The cruelest kind of love
The cruelest kind of love

This imitation is the cruelest kind of love
The cruelest kind of love
This imitation is the cruelest kind of love
The cruelest kind of love
