There's been a thousand times
Thousand times I've wondered
Is it a hand of fate
That pushes me out into the cold
And the ex-friends say
That I've hidden my feelings too deep
 [bad word] is that I've got nothing to hide anymore
I feel myself weary and old

I've had more than my share of pain
Love's not made for my kind
My heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone

I've been on the edges of unknown
I've roamed the spaces wild and free
I've always been on my own
I can't change my ways can't you see
And now the dark is rising
And my back's to the door
I think it's time to give in
My legs won't carry me no more

I've had more than my share of pain
I wonder if I am still sane
Love's not made for my kind
My heart's turning to stone
Love's not made for my kind
Better to leave me alone
