lyrics

Unwanted husk in every waking moment
Dormant love never put into motion
Well I would if I could find the means
I'd like to think this empty heart ain't what it seems

Never known the meaning of affection
A lonely man struck by a serious affliction
Having to resort to desperate deeds
I begged her please call me in your time of need

But she said

Boy, you've got a rotten soul!
I know, I said, it's taking its toll
But girl you know
That I can change
Such a thing can be arranged

No. She had enough,

Wishful thinking of the highest order
Fall in love before I even get to know her
Tremors creeping to my hands
The gall of that boy to think he has a chance

Another woman wants to peer into my heart
She said boy you look just like a new start
It's something that I've always wanted
This lonely girl needs her some lovin'

But I said

You're perfect in every way
I'd love to start, but not today
If history
Repeats itself
My black soul will send us to Hell

Again. I can't love.
