The night is cold, and I am old, but am I bold enough

To cat around, go down to 'ground, get up and strut my stuff?

Dress like a whore in a boudoir and act like nothing matters

Always the one coming undone when too much is enough

This is my favourite song

Why won't you dance along?

I never asked you for this millstone 'round my neck

Life's too damn short for this

Can't I have just one kiss?

I've come so far for you that now I can't turn back

Why can't I love you?

Why can't you love my image of you?

Why can't I love you?

Why can't you want me to love you?

The sun is hot, but I am not, though it is blinding me

Cloaked head to toe in black I go, a walking mystery

Beneath the weight of bitter fate my world would surely shatter

So I atone, remain alone as you go flying free

This is my favourite place

Why won't you show your face?

I never expected this bullet in my heart

I am so bloody lame

I found true love again

This isn't over, just because it didn't start

Why can't I love you?

Why can't you love my image of you?

Why can't I love you?

Why can't you want me to love you?

Why can't I love you?

Why can't we reach the stars above you?

Why can't I love you?

Why can't you want me to love you?

Those who cannot learn their lessons are doomed to repeat the past

But if we leave the past behind us, how long can the future last?

If we can change direction, if we control our fate

If we can choose, why don't we?

I can't relate

The day is fine, and you are mine somewhere that isn't here

I see a bride wrapped up in white, and shed a bitter tear

We had to part, my broken heart was growing torn and tattered

I'll see you 'round down underground never again, I fear

This is my favourite day

Don't even look my way

I really don't enjoy this poison in my veins

Love is a goddamn lie

You make me want to die

If I knew how to stop this, would I start again?

Why can't I love you?

Why can't you love my image of you?

Why can't I love you?

Why can't you want me to love you?

Why can't i love you?

Why can't we reach the stars above you?

Why can't i love you?

Why can't you want me to love you?
