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

[Repeat *]

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 

A man like me is dead in places
Other men 
feel liberated

[Repeat * , *]
