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