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
