The night was dark
No moon in the coal-black sky
You traveled the highway
You felt the storm inside

You looked into his eyes
And only saw perfection
He looked into your eyes
And only saw reflections

[chorus 1:]

Now you wake up crying in the morning,
Staring out through the clouded pane
Now he takes to screaming without warning (OH SO CRUEL)
Beautiful and cruel

[repeat]

The blinding light;
The dirt on your pale white feet
You walked in the garden,
Life spinning on your heels

[chorus 1]

[chorus 2:]

Now you wake up crying in the morning,
Staring out through the clouded pane
Now he takes to screaming without warning (OH SO CRUEL)
Like bullets, he leaves wounds

You wake up crying in the morning
You wake up crying in the morning light

[chorus 1]

[chorus 2]

[chorus 1]

Beautiful and cruel (SO BEAUTIFUL)
So beautiful
Oh, so cruel
