Happy man but no heart

Got a short fuse
Got a heart to abuse

With what you call romance
I refuse to dance the dance

Of trying to love someone
Who will always run

Away from me
Even if they

See me for who I am
A struggling man

With a hole in his chest
Looking like he's got nothing left

No heart and desires
Just burnt out fires

And a deep dark hole
Deep down in his soul

Life full of love
More like a life full of pain

It's truly a shame
That I might love someone

Who doesn't love me
In the same way

I guess I'm fine with
Not giving my heart away

I won’t be mad
I won't be sad

I'll be humble
And I'll be neutral
