alas and be aghast, poor women
for i am a sad and lonely actor
set across the corpses of crippled hearts,
dripping across the pages of your soul infested letters to casanova
drowning in melancholy
you will never find another charming fool
you will never find another quite like me, darling
someone who can constantly sing with an ugly voice
and turn terrible sounds into such beautiful words
that make you swoon for a tragedy like me
but forgive me, now
for i have sinned, darling
sigh no more ladies, for i was nothing more
than a mediocre poet, one foot on shore,
the other at sea
i was like some sickness you loved to hold
i am nothing but a desperate man
falling for innocent young wives
that can murder a man's heart a thousand times
it's so subtle
it took a hot summer's day in the Appalachian mountains
to make all my head over heels fans finally see
that even i can be a woeful liar
shoot me now, love
shoot me now, for i have committed the ultimate
adultry, infidelity and cheated you of my love
do it because you love me regardless
if i repeat the same thing a thousand times
