From the recording Love Must Be Tough (3:51)

Lyrics

Start with the fire,end with the ashes
Gasoline in my heart and veins,and my enemy makes matches
I need a transplant,I need a transfusion
Some type of operation to heal my confusion

Stuck within these four walls,dealing solitaire
With a deck of marked shuffled thoughts,I can tell you really care
But I will survive,for some it's just a cliche
I will be revived as long as I stay out of the way

(chorus)
LOVE MUST BE TOUGH,love isn't fair
I'm sure you already knew that,if you've been out there
LOVE MUST BE TOUGH,should I even the score?
No that's OK,let me get the door

Tired of the striving,yet tired of the status quo
Tired of the mind games
Just plain tired
There'll be no more begging for mercy
No more futile grasping
I opened a dusty ancient book
Identified the pathogen

(chorus)
