Never Again by The Northern Pikes Lyrics

Here in my lonely room I wait for conversation
Here in this little tomb there are no obligations
Here in this hollow head
Are thoughts of people long gone dead
Here in this friendly face you'll see no sign of anger
Still in the same old place - no need to look beyond
Where did the hunger go? It left the body long ago

I was in love once and then it hurt me so
I'll never fall in love again, in love again, in love again
I put my faith in someone and then she let me down
I'll never fall in love again

Down at the old hotel, old soldiers sit there drinking
They talk about the hell they faced
When they were my age
I should feel lucky but instead I only feel ashamed

I had a dream last night about a book I read
And in the book, the dream was dead
The South Pole opened up and the penguins fell inside
I thought that all the penguins died
Have you ever heard a sound you didn't understand?
Have you ever seen something
You wished you'd never seen?
Here in my lonely room, I never have to leave

I was afraid once and then it hurt me so
I'll never be afraid again, afraid again, afraid again
I fell in love once and then it hurt me so
I'll never fall in love again, in love again, in love again
I put my faith in someone, and then they let me down
I'll never fall in love again
