Oh don't mention love to me
Don't mention kindness
Unless you want to see me undone
Torn with blindness
Don't talk about faith my friend
Don't talk to me about sharing
I've stepped out of my house too many times
Only to be appalled
At all the sentient world decaying
I must be a fool
I must be
I must be a fool
To still be surprised that I'm still on my own
Don't mention love to me
Don't tell me it's wrong to get drunk on my own
The T.V. can take my abuse, you see
I'll make sure I do when it when there's no one else home
Don't talk to me about faith, my friend
Don't talk to me about sharing
I've stepped out of my house too many times
Only to be appalled
At how poorly God's children are fairing
I must be a fool
I must be
I must be a fool
To still be surprised that I'm still on my own
Last night I dreamed someone loved me
But it was just another oxymoron
It was just another silent and false alarm
Last night I felt someone hug me
And not in a pitiful way
Not in a pitiful way
Not in a pitiful way
Not in a pitiful way
Not in a pitiful way
Not in a pitiful way
So how can you say that it's out there
When all there is out there is a sad and shadowy tarp
Fashioned of horse hair
So how can you say she's out there waiting for me
When all there is out there
Is more desperate souls
Looking for someone onto whom they can unload their despair
I must be a fool
I must be
I must be a fool
To still be surprised that I'm still on my own
