[Verse 1]
Love is a catastrophe
Look what it's done to me
Brought me down here so low
Stranded, nowhere to go

[Verse 2]
No concentration
Just rerunning conversation
Trying to understand
How I fell into this quicksand

[Verse 3]
What happens next?
With life I'm unimpressed
Pain like a cutter's knife
Never been lonelier in my life

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Who issued the instruction
For this mad act of destruction?
An end to equilibrium
Fate laughs:
Look what we've done to him!

[Verse 5]
High wind through the trees
Falling November leaves
A weak sun hanging low
Summer seems so long ago

[Verse 6]
All my former dreams
Tender romantic schemes
Revealed as so naive
To think I could believe

[Verse 7]
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
