lyrics

Time seems to be against me
The days keep flying by
Romance running on empty
The lovers well's running dry
Got a lot of love to give
I'm a sensitive guy
If everyone finds love
Why can't I

Maybe I'm too broken
Maybe I'm too shy
If everyone finds love
Why can't I
Maybe I'm too picky
Are my hopes too high
If everyone finds love
Why can't I

My heart's been rusted
Been left out in the rain
I guess it's over-trusted
It's seized up from the pain
I'm willing to work it out
I'm a hard working guy
If everyone finds love
Why can't I

Maybe I'm too broken
Maybe I'm too shy
If everyone finds love
Why can't I
Maybe I'm too picky
Are my hopes too high
If everyone finds love
Why can't I

All that I have is all that I could give
To find someone to share a lifetime with
I'm caring and I'm loyal
Stay by your side
If everyone finds love
Why can't I
