So hear it, we've been through a lot
We're both hurt - You've cried and I've cried
Tears
But no one's yet been shot
Our romance has dwindled and died
But it's the flame that will never die
And this is a power ballad - sung about you and I
I usually sing about carnage and rape
But now I show I really hurt
I sit alone with my guitar on a fire escape
In the rain with dry hair but a soaking shirt
There's helicopters with floodlights showing the way
I'm dangerous and this is a power ballad
It's totally not the least bit gay
Gay
I need a string quarter to come in right here
'Cause nothing says rock like cellos and violins
This song is for the ladies while men go get beers
See I don't just trash hotel rooms and shoot heroin
The video should have two sluts fighting over me
Sluts
'Cause this is a power ballad
It's stupid but I sing it with all my might
So let's remember that our flame will never die
'Cause this is a power ballad
Sung about you and I
