lyrics

Try aching every care in the world
She's only the most beautiful girl
The more I think it the badder it gets
I was just swimming along till I was caught in her net

She's got me singing with a broken heart
I keep on messing with my mind torn apart
She's already forgotten, look at me left in the dust
I guess my art didn't help very much

Then the super love got me again
Got me dreaming I could almost win
I stop to take a look around with a grin
So much turmoil in this crazy town

She's got me bloody from hitting the bricks
Is this the way the girlies get their kicks?
And now I see if it makes a difference
Everyone in love, hating her & each other

Always thinking it's near the end
Then I was hoping she'd be my friend
Will I forever only wish it again?
Oh to be alive & free from sin!

Psycho love in the Twilight Zone
Drippy soap opera on the telephone
I get so close but I don't belong
Straining to identify with a radio song

Then I see her as if in a dream
It's so real I could almost scream
She's doing a ritual the same for any man
Just like a movie it's so deadpan!

I hope for love in the darkness
I have a chance at false romance
Maybe next time I'll look for something new
I'm so ashamed, so unglued

I've had enough & she'll never know
I feel like staying but my subconscious says 'Go'
Shed a tear like blood on the floor
It's only love & nothing more

She's got me singing with a broken heart
I keep on messing with my mind torn apart
She's already forgotten, look at me left in the dust
I guess my art didn't help very much
