They say it fades if you let it
Love was made to forget it
I carved your name across my eyelids
You pray for rain, I pray for blindness
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because the spark is not within me
I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom
The only thing that you keep changin'
Is your name, my love keeps growin'
Still the same, just like a cancer
And you won't give me a straight answer
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because your hands are not upon me
I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom
The pains of love, and they keep blowin'
In my heart, there's flowers growin'
On the grave of our old love
Since you gave me a straight answer
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love is not upon me
If you still want me, please forgive me
'Cause the spark is not within me
It's not within me, it's not within me
You gotta be the one
You gotta be the way
Your name is the only word that I can say
You gotta be the one
You gotta be the way
Your name is the only word
The only word that I can say
Only word that I can say
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Love was made to forget it
I carved your name across my eyelids
You pray for rain, I pray for blindness
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because the spark is not within me
I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom
The only thing that you keep changin'
Is your name, my love keeps growin'
Still the same, just like a cancer
And you won't give me a straight answer
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because your hands are not upon me
I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom
The pains of love, and they keep blowin'
In my heart, there's flowers growin'
On the grave of our old love
Since you gave me a straight answer
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love is not upon me
If you still want me, please forgive me
'Cause the spark is not within me
It's not within me, it's not within me
You gotta be the one
You gotta be the way
Your name is the only word that I can say
You gotta be the one
You gotta be the way
Your name is the only word
The only word that I can say
Only word that I can say
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

This song is terrific, but I can't get over the Freudian stuff in it. I don't just mean mom/bedroom - I'm thinking of "your name is the only word that I can say." It's as if the speaker's love for his (ex?)girlfriend has made him so desperate and emotional that he's reverted to infancy, only able to cry out for his mama (whom the girlfriend has taken the place of). Now THAT's codependency. Or at least complete and utter dependence. And, also, pretty gross to think about.
