\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Damaged Love<\/strong><\/p>\n

I called this girl up for a date.<\/p>\n

She declined saying I was too late.<\/p>\n

I asked her what did she mean?<\/p>\n

She said she didn\u2019t want to be mean<\/p>\n

But, she wanted a committed person.<\/p>\n

Not a relationship with a cursed man.<\/p>\n

She said I might make a good pet.<\/p>\n

But I wasn\u2019t ready for commitment yet.<\/p>\n

I was a victim of damaged love.<\/p>\n

I needed help from up above.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One too many trips to Lonesome Town<\/p>\n

Too many times I\u2019ve played the clown.<\/p>\n

I have a permanent room at Heartbreak Hotel.<\/p>\n

My heart has been stomped & ripped to hell.<\/p>\n

I need a true love to repair my heart<\/p>\n

Aching for your love & not knowing where to start.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She said I had been burned way too often.<\/p>\n

My heart was nailed into a coffin.<\/p>\n

My emotions were nearly dead.<\/p>\n

Mostly, I was out of my head.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t trust enough for true love.<\/p>\n

I was a victim of damaged love.<\/p>\n

A commitment was just a dream to me.<\/p>\n

Running scared at the thought of it would be.<\/p>\n

It might be too late to save such a mess.<\/p>\n

I might be alone until my death.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One too many trips to Lonesome Town.<\/p>\n

Too many times I\u2019ve played the clown.<\/p>\n

I have a permanent room at Heartbreak Hotel.<\/p>\n

My heart has been stomped & ripped to hell.<\/p>\n

I need true love to repair my heart.<\/p>\n

Aching for your love & not knowing where to start.<\/p>\n
