As I turn to go
 See the pain on her face
 A frozen rose

 With the toss of her hair
 And the bite of her lip
 She'll ask me so shy
 "Anything left to say?"

 And I say
 "No, no baby, not this time
 Again-
 This time it's over
 You've got to learn"

 Chorus:
 Now, darlin' love is cruel
 Darlin' love is blind
 Love is pain
 So cry
 Shed a tear today
 Shed a tear my baby
 Love is pain

 I see our love out of reach
 Arms intwined with lies
 What shattered the night
 Still haunts me in the rain

 Now you're lost child, lost
 Like a ship on the storm
 Your distant eyes
 Are shadows of others I've known

 Bridge & Chorus
 I Love you
 Love is pain
