Damaged Love
I called this girl up for a date.
She declined saying I was too late.
I asked her what did she mean?
She said she didn’t want to be mean
But, she wanted a committed person.
Not a relationship with a cursed man.
She said I might make a good pet.
But I wasn’t ready for commitment yet.
I was a victim of damaged love.
I needed help from up above.
One too many trips to Lonesome Town
Too many times I’ve played the clown.
I have a permanent room at Heartbreak Hotel.
My heart has been stomped & ripped to hell.
I need a true love to repair my heart
Aching for your love & not knowing where to start.
She said I had been burned way too often.
My heart was nailed into a coffin.
My emotions were nearly dead.
Mostly, I was out of my head.
I couldn’t trust enough for true love.
I was a victim of damaged love.
A commitment was just a dream to me.
Running scared at the thought of it would be.
It might be too late to save such a mess.
I might be alone until my death.
One too many trips to Lonesome Town.
Too many times I’ve played the clown.
I have a permanent room at Heartbreak Hotel.
My heart has been stomped & ripped to hell.
I need true love to repair my heart.
Aching for your love & not knowing where to start.
