Love, you never took my hand
As many times I willed you to
And in your crooked wake I stand

Your boyish heart won't take demands
I appealed for once you'd follow through
Love, you never took my hand

I've sang my fancy from upon my stand
Contrived a scene so fine and true
But in your crooked wake I stand

In truth, this shit was all quite bland
What's real, this rigid heart must skew
Love, you never took my hand

This grisly end was hardly planned
And means don't always pay their due
And in your crooked wake I stand

These die-hard notions won't remand
Til I bid this bane adieu
Love, you never took my hand

I can't conceive rejection and
Still less, the fact it comes from you
And in your crooked wake I stand

I'll ditch this regal ferry, revert to land
Nevermore will I chance your arctic blue
If my weeping void you can't withstand
Look for aid among your chintzy crew
For all along you saw yourself as grand
But now you cry your dullard tears, don't you
In your crooked wake I refuse to stand
Love, you'll never take my hand
