The Bachelor

a good man in this life
seems to run out of chances to find a wife
failure of romance over and over again
he loses the spirit to pursue a girlfriend

when he's met too many problems in lovers
and begins to prefer being alone under the covers
when he's gotten older and new introductions come to an end
or he has wisdom to see a train-wreck coming from around the bend

he confirms himself a bachelor

i take you to this lonely place
because no one known is worthy to share that space
to settle in solitude with peace of mind
because there was no one else they could find

the hormones slow and he stops taking risks
believing now that true love is only a myth
loss of infinite patience keeps the world at a distance
isolation can be such a dreary existence

he's sick of the drama that comes with a mate
so dying alone will be his fate
finding no real comfort being just one
seldom will he have any real fun

its just not his fault, he really tried
again and again he put away his pride
but to give so much and get so little in return
after so many troubles its something he's learned

he's seen love's destruction in his family and friends
seen the proof that most romantic dreams will badly end
then experiencing firsthand how lovers will part
he's run out of energy and run out of heart

it is a sad story how it can all turn out
without a lover and family what is life really about?
inside self-imposed walls of emotional isolation
without a partnership in love where is life's motivation?

so he sits and grows gray without goals, without purpose
rotting inside and wrinkling on the surface
he became fed up with ruiners games and lies
left unfullfilled in life before he dies

he confirms himself a bachelor
