True love is a rose behind glass
It's locked and kept closed
Maybe just to me 'cause my heart's been attacked
Shattered by tough love, bad love
so 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
'cause it sure seemed built to last
and even after my honeymoon past I kept right with that, man,
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, and mad mean there was no in-between

I found I can't make a stand i'm her hired hand

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 to getting back on my own
I had to go to rehab
All I need is a safe place to bleed
E riff1
Half of no chance, steps in a dance
rest of my live spin in combat
Now I'm the king of the ward
'cause I'm good and I swallow my sword
Puke it up for the doctor to write 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
Wish I was no one
Take me up, my love
Take me up today
Take me out of this place
Take me up with you today
