Love is a catastrophe
Look what it's done to me
Brought me down here so low
Stranded, nowhere to go
No concentration
Just rerunning conversation
Trying to understand
How I fell into this quicksand
What happens next?
With life I'm unimpressed
Pain like a cutter's knife
Never been lonelier in my life
Who issued the instruction
For this mad act of destruction?
An end to equilibrium
Fate laughs, look what we've done to him
High wind through the trees
Falling November leaves
A weak sun hanging low
Summer seems so long ago
All my former dreams
Tender romantic schemes
Revealed as so naive
To think I could believe
In love as the kindest law
Not as a declaration of war
On my life and sanity
Now I know at last for me
Love is a catastrophe
