Romantic Fatigue

Romantic Fatigue - Frank Turner

I have to admit that I am one of the many

who thought that a guitar would win him a lady.

My teenage years, they were a feminine drought,

and I thought that a seranade would help out.

It seemed to be working for a couple of years -

I wrote a few songs and they wrought a few tears -

But when I hit my twenties, it ran out of steam.

I seemed to be suffering from romantic fatigue.

And I never know which song I should play her,

each melody is

A memory of a not-forgotten failure.

So when I

get out my guita tonight, to do what I do, remember:

I probably didn't write this song for you.

And so as I have mentioned, the shelf-life was short -

the plan wasn't working, despite what I thought.

My ladies all left me alone in the end,

so I had to switch all names around the name

sing it again.

Every life-long-love, and every best friend,

slips away into the past.

Take my words with caution,

I can't pretend that you're the first.

You won't be the last. no no no no

And I never know which song I should play her,

each melody is

A memory of a not-forgotten failure.

So when I

get out my guita tonight, to do what I do, remember:

I probably didn't write this song

Now I standing

didn't write this song

Now I never never write a song for you.
