Lyrics

Emotional Wasteland

When you first lay eyes on him,
You see your perfect man.
And when he smiles it's then you know
You are his biggest fan.
(Yes, you know you are.)
So you smile at him.
Eyes lock. Worlds rock.
Your pursuit begins.
(You want him.)
So you start right in.
Like a single-minded romance heroine.
But you never think to find
Just what he hides within.
(What he hide within.)

Behind those eyes;
Emotional wasteland.
The man you need isn't there.
Beneath that smile;
Emotional wasteland.
The man you love doesn't care.

You're just another one-night stand.
A single night of fun.
Another nameless target and
A notch upon his gun.
(Just another notch.)
So he licks his lips.
(Jaw set. Lips wet.)
With his boyish grin
(You want him.)
So he starts right in.
Like a competitor setting up a win.
You're about to find
Just what he hides.
(What he conceals within him.)

Behind those eyes;
Emotional wasteland.
The man you need isn't there.
Beneath that smile;
Emotional wasteland.
The man you love doesn't care.

He promises to thrill.
(You feel ill.)
So he saps your will.
Like a predator setting up a kill.
Now you're surely going to find
Just what he hides inside.
(What he hides inside him.)

Behind those eyes;
Emotional wasteland.
The man you need isn't there.
Beneath that smile;
Emotional wasteland.
The man you love doesn't care.

Behind those eyes;
Emotional wasteland.
The man you need isn't there.
Beneath that smile;
Emotional wasteland.
The man you love doesn't care.
