I want love, but it's impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places

Other men feel liberated

I can't love, shot full of holes

Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart


But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down

Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want, I want love


I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned

Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh man I've seen so much traffic


So bring it on, I've been bruised
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
I'm ready for the rougher stuff

No sweet romance, I've had enough
