1
True love is a rose in a case
2
That's locked and kept closed
3
Because it's way more expensive
4
Than anybody can earn
5
So I bought mine off the street
6
True love, man, just can't be beat
7
I felt so complete
8
Like all my wrong moves
9
Turned into right turns
10
And each night I look up
11
At a bright honeymoon
12
It seemed so built to last
13
Even after my honeymoon past
14
And I went out after it
15
Like a ghost
16
To a house, it was haunted
17
Day after day
18
I'd steal with my true love away
19
To some hideout left undisturbed
20
We could do what we wanted
21
But I started to feel like a liar
22
Saying I love you
23
She was madly in love and at me
24
There's no in-between
25
I felt so cold
26
I can't make a stand
27
I'm her hired hand
28
I have to do harm
29
One day I got sick
30
She played me a nasty old trick
31
Said, "I need cigarettes"
32
Walked around the block
33
Called a cab
34
Stayed gone for too long
35
My love had gotten too strong
36
Just to try getting back on my own
37
I had to go to rehab
38
Well, all I need is a safe place to be
39
They said this is it
40
Well, half a chance
41
A step in a dance
42
Well, that's all that you get
43
Now I'm the king of the ward
44
Because I'm good and I swallow my sword
45
Puke it out
46
So the doctor can write his prescription
47
Tranquil as a dove
48
People that have lost their true love
49
They all seem to fit
50
The same description
51
They feel cold
52
They feel old
53
Like a no one
