I don't expect you'll understand
The cruelest jokes at love's command
They cut me with the things they said
I walked away believing them
They made perfect fool of me
They laid a trap I didn't see
Though I was shaken critically
Through my veins runs Nitro-glycerine, yeah

I can't control it
I can't condone defeat
I can't console it
I will never understand The heat…

I watched it fall and melt today
Yet even now some scars remain
I felt you dry my tears away
The silence reigns as laughter fades
I'm brocking out the lies brigade
For next time I'll wear battle grey
When love and anger steel the blade
The deepest cuts fall harder when repaid, yeah

I can't control it
I can't condone defeat
I can't console it
I will never understand The heat…
