And now that I am all alone
And all the men have come and gone
The ones I found, the ones I lost
The ones I left a tragic mess
And now that I am all alone
It's so much better than I thought
The nights are mine and mine alone
I rip their pictures from the wall
The ones who came and didn't stay
The ones from whom I ran away
The ones that overstayed their use
The ones who begged for my abuse
The ones who battered one and all
The ones I pushed to watch them fall
The ones that didn't stand a chance
'Cause from the start I knew the cause
And their distress was what I sought
To love, to loathe, to fuck, to fight
To watch the days turn back to night
And now the nights are mine alone
And daylight breaks and bruises form
The empty space upon my bed
Will not stay empty for too long
Another man will come and go
And still more bruises kissed with blood
A minor price to pay for love
