true love is a rose

in a case that's locked to get closed

cuz it's way more expensive than anybody on earth

so bought mine off the street

true love man just can't be beat

i felt so complete

like all my romans turned into ??

and each night i look up

at a bright honey moon

it seems so built to last

even after my honey moon past

i went right after it

like a ghost

to the house it once haunted

day after day

i'd steal with my true love away

to some hide out left undisturbed

we could do what we wanted

but i started to feel like a liar

saying i love you

she was madly in love and at me

there's no in between

felt so cold

i can't make a stand

i'm her hired hand

i have to do harm

one day i got sick

she played me a nasty old trick

said i need cigarettes

walked round the block

caught a cab

stayed gone for too long

my love had gotten too strong

just to try getting back on my own

i had to go to rehab

all i need is a safe place to bleed

they said this is it

Well half a chance

steps in a dance

now i'm the king of the ward

cause i'm good and i swallow my sword

puke it up

so the doctor can write his prescription

tranquil as a dove

people that have lost their true love

they all seem to fit the same description

they feel cold, they feel old

like a no one

take me home

take me home today

take me out of this place

take me out, do it today
