[Verse 1]
And I know that you don't love me
The way it ought to be
Handing out affection
To everyone you meet
Sometimes I get this feeling
A twist around my heart
You can send me reeling
No one can make me part

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm facing different mirrors
I'm longing to be free
But I'm shackled to your love
And these chains are holding me

[Chorus]
Cruel heart
Yours or mine
Is love just an illusion
Or a trick of time?

[Verse 2]
If I put up resistance
Why push out in haste
The fences are all down
So I leave it up to fate
And I realise the danger
I'm putting myself in
No matter what will happen
The hazard's still within
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm flamed with pure desire
I'm longing to be free
Shackled to your love
These chains are holding me

[Chorus]
Cruel heart
Yours or mine
Is love just an illusion
Or a trick of time?
Cruel heart
Yours or mine
Is love just an illusion
Or a trick of time?

[Bridge]
Adrift upon the ocean, ocean
All I want is devotion, motion
Yeah

[Outro]
And I know that you don't love me
The way it ought to be
Handing out affection
To everyone you meet
