As I'm standing in the shower trying to forget your lovely scent
I'm counting every hour and my pain will augment
It was such a good start, but happiness were to resign
I trusted deep in my heart that love could be mine

I've tried it all to no avail
This horrid never ending trail
I wonder: Why do I even bother with love?
I've aimed for stars but hit my feet
I'll forever walk along Failure Street
I wonder: Why do I even bother with love?

I thought my pain had turned to pleasure, I thought it all would be true
Life had no room for leisure, before I first met you
And now I'm crushed to pieces, remembering what you said
My hope for love decreases, and soon it will be dead

I've tried it all to no avail
This horrid never ending trail
I wonder: Why do I even bother with love?
I've aimed for stars but hit my feet
I'll forever walk along Failure Street
I wonder: Why do I even bother with love?

This harddrive needs formatting, these memories need to go
It hurts so much to think about this, so let's quit this show!

But after all we both felt joy, when everything was great
Deep inside there's a hopeful boy who might go for another bait
But for now I'll cry some tears surviving the bitter end
I guess it won't take many years before I'm back again

I've tried it all to no avail
This horrid never ending trail
I wonder: Why do I even bother with love?
I've aimed for stars but hit my feet
I'll forever walk along Failure Street
I wonder: Why do I even bother with love?

This harddrive needs formatting, these memories need to go
It hurts so much to think about this, so let's quit this show!

I've tried it all to no avail
This horrid never ending trail
I wonder: Why do I even bother with love?
I've aimed for stars but hit my feet
I'll forever walk along Failure Street
I wonder: Why do I even bother with love?
