I take my place in life to be alone
There are millions in front of me, I know
But every single action of the ultimate attraction
You can pretty much depend on going cold
Write a letter, sprinkle it with stars
Enthusiastic lovers don't go far
They fall and you can't catch them
At least though you can match them
Everything's worth less when it's been sold
And if you recognize the cadence of a tune
And the perfume of your lover makes you sweet
And suddenly you're spinning in the room
And you wake up on the sofa feeling sad
And you think of all the love you never had
If you ever want to fall in love again
You know that it isn't if, it's only when
On an unsuspected date

You're in a corner with nobody to warn you
And you know it fails twelve times out of ten
And wounded once again you struggle to hold
But somehow you just know you'll be alone
I'm so welcome to the war that never ends
Confusion is the message that it sends
If you sacrifice your lovers or your friends
Then you really start to see the end of it all

And you really start to think you're going mad
As you think of all the love you never had
And you really start to think you're going mad
As you think of all the love you never had
And when you feel like all the
Love's gone
