I never viewed myself as a loser
I guess that everybody loses here
I had refused to believe in this day
And I'd forgot this particular day
When your heart is breaking
And your body is aching again
Oh, I would have changed the world
I would have done anything
to make up for the mistakes we made
But now the smoke cloud curls
Up from the ashes and embers of love
She never could believe that I cared
She couldn't feel it or see it play
And like a diamond imperfect but rare
She held it up to the light
When your heart is bleeding
Oh, I once heard somebody say
that love is all you need
Well, I believe in death,
But I don't know how it works,
or exactly what that means
When you're con stantly crying
When the knife is turning
And your world is burning
When your heart is breaking
