True love is a rose behind glass   It's locked and kept closed    Maybe just to me   My heart's been attacked   Shattered by tough love, bad love    I bought mine off the street    True love, man, just can't be beat    I felt so complete    Married to heavenly bodies above    And each night I look up    At a bright honeymoon    Because it sure seemed built to last    Even after my honeymoon past    I kept right on at midnight    Like a ghost    To the house it once haunted    And day after day    I'd steal with my true love away    To some hideout we 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 or mad at me    There was no in-between    It come on and on   I found 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 around the block    Caught a cab    Stayed gone for too long    My love had gotten too strong    Just to try to getting back on my own    I had to go to rehab    All I need is a safe place to bleed   Is this where it's at?   Half of no chance   Steps in a dance   Your life's just a combat   Now I'm the king of the ward    Because I'm good and I swallow my sword    Puke it up for the doctor to write    A new prescription    Tranquil as a dove    People that have lost their true love    All seem to fit the same description    I feel cold, useless and old   Wish I was no one   Take me home, my love   Take me home today   Take me out of this place   Take me home with you today
