unlovable

darren hayes'in the tension and the spark albümünün en güzel parçalarından biri.

are my lips unkissable?
are my eyes unlookable?
is my skin untouchable?
am i unlovable?

cynical, jaded, faithless, disappointed, disillusioned, used
if i could take back all my sweat, my tears, my sex, my joy i would
my time, my love, my effort, passion, dedication
in case of mistaken identity i gave these things to you
if i sound angry, bitter, sad, infatuated, it's the truth
denial, anger, bargaining, depression, just a few
stages of acceptance that it's really over
it's just so complicated and i'm stupid for believing in you

you make me feel like my father never loved me
you make me feel like the act of love is empty
am i so unlovable?
is my skin untouchable?
do i remind you of a part of you that you don't like?

i had your back, i held you up, i told you you were good enough
it was not reciprocated, you kept affection and yourself apart
you fed your love to me like crumbs to pigeons in the park
sometimes i think you're satisfied to see me begging like a dog
i wasn't armoured, you were king, i gave my everything
because sometimes you showed me just a hint of you and then
for just a moment i romanticised the notion
i can take away the torment, i can love you like they never did

you make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me)
you make me feel like the act of love is empty (i felt so empty)
am i so unlovable?
is my skin untouchable?
do i remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
