Damn the heart
It's just a scam from the start
Another stab in the dark
I aim for you
Find the moment and the moment's gone
Damn the heart
Makes a clown from the start
Another laugh in the dark
I wait for you, I wait for you
Like a lover
Like a lover
Like a lover
I cling and I clamor
You sting and I stammer
Like a lover
Like a lover
Like a lover
You scream and I shatter
I hit like a hammer
I made a promise I wouldn't leave so fast
I was a child to think a promise lasts
I've had to learn how to get right back
To the heart of it
I get closer and closer still
And dare I say
I come to you to play
Did I misunderstand?
That this was a chance to break from the man
So what if I choose
Another start, another scar, another name, another bruise
And what if I lose?
Do I lose you?
Like a lover
Like a lover
Like a lover
I cling and I clamor
You sting and I stammer
Like a lover
Like a lover
Like a lover
You scream and I shatter
I hit like a hammer
I made a promise I wouldn't leave so fast
I was a child to think a promise lasts
I've had to learn how to get right back
To the heart of it
I get closer and closer still
And damn my love's delay
I found my life too late
And damn the heart
It leads you far
Then drops you cold again
Damn the heart
It's just a sham from the start
Another stab in the dark
I aim for you, I aim for you
Like a lover
I cling and I clamor
You sting and I stammer
Like a lover
You scream and I shatter
I hit like a hammer
I made a promise I wouldn't leave so fast
I was a child to think a promise lasts
I've had to learn how to get right back
To the heart of it
I get closer and closer
I made a promise I wouldn't leave so fast
I was a child
I've had to learn how to get right back
To the heart of it
I get closer and closer still
