I want love, but it's impossible 
man like me, so irresponsible 
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 [bad word] 
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth 
I'm ready for the rougher stuff 
No sweet romance, I've had enough
