Cruel Lips Lyrics

What does it take to shut your cruel cruel lips
How could I have mistaken a curse for a kiss
Of all the things to say to me
Of all things to let slip
Oh, what does it take to shut your cruel cruel lips
How did you finally break my hard hard heart
How could you turn on your light, then leave me in the dark
How can I recover from the blow that made us part
Oh, how did you finally break my hard hard heart
Bridge
Of all the things I had in mind
This wasn't one of them
Of all the strings you pulled behind
My back you said this wasn't one
You'd ever pull again
How long must I walk down this long long road
There's nothing at the end of it and I'm carrying this load
And you don't lift a finger now, you just stand there and gloat
How long must I walk down this long long road
Bridge
Oh, what does it take to stop your sharp sharp tongue
You know I'm not invincible and those words really stung
They cut me to the marrow, they cut me to the quick
Oh, what does it take to shut your cruel cruel lips
