I'm lost in the dead of winter,

the pain dug in like a splinter...

Love astray everywhere I look,

written in my memory's book.

 

I can't stand humanity now,

slacking the rules it can allow...

My love is stolen by the crook,

written in my memory's book.

 

Liars and cheaters kill my life,

my feelings are under the knife...

My lovely dove is now a rook,

written in my memory's book.

 

Seduction and kisses are cheap,

thoughts of you I will always keep...

I think I gave you more than I took,

written in my memory's book.

 

My emotions are left to cook...

Written in my memory's book.
