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
