How can I stand to live in real life when our love's growing into fiction each day?
Pastimes, love crimes strike my mind
And now this newsline: Why is it this way?
Love!

How can I write this song when my life's so wrong, though I once sounded right as rain?
When I have no power and shadows tower through the dark to strike the refrain

My heart's lonely and frozen
The life that I've chosen

How'm I gonna stand, watch you two take hands
Hear within the band, this new love?

Try to relight the fire, you've got nothing to burn
And it seems like something's stuck in your ass
How can you penetrate warmth when I can't feel your heart
And you have no class

Eyes light up with a blaze
With mem'ries and dark days

How'm I gonna stand, watch you two take hands
Hear within the band, this new love?

How can I stay so alive when for every night
It's 'fight or flight' and tonight it's 'flight'
Fight to keep tears down, they'll reign this town
Here is my sound and- oh crap
Rains come down

Where am I?
Running away

How'm I gonna stand, watch you two take hands
Hear within the band, this new love?

My music lights up the night with raging fire
This storyline crashes and sounds with blazing desire
Dreams die as I flood the world; I won't tire
And feel the pain coursing high'r and high'r

I cannot leave my past behind
When you'll keep finding ways to kill my own heart
Invading in my sleep, my stomach's inside out
And I'm torn apart
Love!

Can I reconnect in this age
Where rumors, white lies, lovers
All promises betray
Love binds the friendship together
But dangerous, ripping winds of night
Keep calling revenge

Draw the line, release my hand
Will I make a stand?

Use my knowledge to call
You'll take the fall

You may sound tough, I've had enough

How'm I gonna stand, watch you two take hands
Hear within the band, this new love? This new love?
Your new love!
Love, love, love, love, love
I'm not gonna stand love
Especially this love!
