Lovelorn

Lyrics

Lovelorn, he's torn between The path of [Unidentified] resistance That track traverse much travelled in the grey And that other tougher way The only road that leads home And from which all those sad lost souls will stray Lovelorn, he turns to [Unidentified] He's coming in the wild wind In hope that this dark feeling will rescind Every bouquet's sad today As Hallmark marks his sorrow With sentimental tidings That sting a heart so hollow Lovelorn, he drinks 'til awn Shrouded in his midnight And every shot's a rocket to the grave He's pining for that little girl Some uncouth Lolita Who cracks his heart just like an egg Then gets busy with the beater Lovelorn, he is drawn To neon lights and downtown City bars and taverns on the way But all those legs round silver poles And not enough distraction To pull him from the quagmire 'Cos his heart is still in traction Lovelorn, he is borne Upon the wings of madness Oh, what a number she has done on him With her looks come hither How quickly they did wither Now the prospect of salvation's looking slim Lovelorn, with that crown of thorns Embedded in his cell phone He's checking for a message every day But no message ever comes It's "ghosting", cold and so cruel And he's his own worst enemy Especially after nightfall Especially after nightfall Nightfall
