I want love, but it's impossible
A man like him, so irresponsible
A man like him 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
Toughenin' up around my heart

I want love on my own
After everything I have ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh God, I've seen so much traffic

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 means something
That's the love I want,) I want love
