True Love
True love is a rose Behind glass That's locked and kept closed Maybe just to me My heart's been attacked Shattered by tough love, bad love I bought mine off the street True love, man, it just can't be beat I felt so complete Married to heavenly bodies above And each night I look up At a bright honeymoon Because it sure seemed built to last Even after my honeymoon past I kept right on at midnight Like a ghost To the house it once haunted And day after day I'd steal with my true love away To some hideout we left undisturbed We could do what we wanted But I started to feel like a liar Saying I love you She was madly in love or mad at me There was no in-between It raised my alarm Letras de cancionesI found I can't make a stand I'm her hired hand I have to do harm One day I got sick She played me a nasty old trick Said, "I need cigarettes" Walked around the block Caught a cab Stayed gone for too long My love had gotten too strong Just to try being back on my own I had to go to rehab All I need is a safe place to bleed Is this where it's at? Half of no chance Steps in a dance Rest of my life spent in combat Now I'm the king of the ward Because I'm good and I swallow my sword Puke it up for the doctor to write me A new prescription Tranquil as a dove People that have lost their true love That all seem to fit the same description I feel cold, useless and old I Wish I was no one Take me home, my love Take me home today Take me out of this place Take me home with you today From Letras Mania
