You let me down, again

I can’t remember when

I ever felt so blue

I’ve had my share of men

And now I’ve lost my yen

And there’s nothing you can do

I walk through this forest

And I’m blinded by the trees

Still I hear your chorus

Of a thousand litanies

You let me down, again

I can’t remember when

I ever felt so blue

I’ve had my share of men

And now I’ve lost my yen

And there’s nothing you can do

Love is not your long suit

Trust is a scar on your soul

You buried my heart with the rest of the loot

Who was I to think I could make you whole?

You let me down, again

I can’t remember when

I ever felt so blue

I’ve had my share of men

And now I’ve lost my yen

And there’s nothing you can do

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing …

You can do!
