Love and other moments are just 
chemical reactions in your brain 
in your brain 
And feelings of aggression are the 
absence of the love [bad word] in your viens 
in your veins 
 [bad word] quickly 
'Cause I feel my self esteem is caving in 
It's on the brink 
 [bad word] quickly 
'Cause I don't think I can keep this monster in 
It's in my skin 

Love and other socially 
acceptable emotions are morphine 
They're morphine 
Cleverly concealing primal 
urges often felt but rarely seen 
Rarely seen 
Love I beg you 
Lift me up into that privileged point of view 
The world of two 
Love don't leave me 
'Cause I console myself that 
Hallmark cards are [bad word] 
I really do 

I'm gunning down romance 
It never did a thing for me 
But heartache and misery 
Ain't nothing but a tragedy 

I'm gunning down romance 
It never did a thing for me 
But heartache and misery 
Ain't nothing but a tragedy 

Love don't leave me 

Take these broken wings 
I'm going to take these broken wings 
And learn to fly 
And learn to fly away 
And learn to fly away 

I'm gunning down romance
