At the age of eighteen

I had had enough

And by twenty one

I decided to get tough

And then I found the guard

was still too rough



And I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt and I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To find your love



Well, I tried to love you

One day at a time

Each day waiting

Hoping for the sign

It was clear I needed luck

More than this time



And I've been hurt

Ever since that day

I've been hurt, well, I've lost my way

I still think I have a chance

To make you mine



My empty heart is

Counting all the ways

Fire and desire

Sat and count days

Will you, won't you

When and where

Do you, don't you, do I care

That same eternal question

Is always there

It's always there
