lyrics
He let her into his heart
He let her under his skin
He never kept her
and he never asked her where she had been
He loved her right from the start
She never loved him at all
She’d always let him down
but still he’d always come when she called
Heaven help him, it’s so sad
He lost whatever pride he had
pursuing her this way and that
though she was hardly worth the trouble
She will tease him along
and he focus all his energy on her
He’ll never learn
He was at her beck and call
He tried to keep her well pleased
His kind of devotion
can be terribly hard on the knees
She idly picked him apart
then casually cast him aside
right where he started
even though she’d taken him for a ride
Heaven help us, make him see
there’s more to life than suffering
There’s hope for him beyond the sting
of her off-hand rejection
We will take him in hand
and we will show him
there is good in with the bad
there’s comfort in that
Someday he will shed a final tear
for a love that never had a chance
What was once opaque will be made clear
and someday he will understand
that she was never worth his misery
and that he will learn to love again
once he wipes her from his memory
then the restoration can begin
He’s always falling down
falling down head over heels
We will take him in hand
and we will show him
life’s worth living in the end
His heart will mend
He let her under his skin
He never kept her
and he never asked her where she had been
He loved her right from the start
She never loved him at all
She’d always let him down
but still he’d always come when she called
Heaven help him, it’s so sad
He lost whatever pride he had
pursuing her this way and that
though she was hardly worth the trouble
She will tease him along
and he focus all his energy on her
He’ll never learn
He was at her beck and call
He tried to keep her well pleased
His kind of devotion
can be terribly hard on the knees
She idly picked him apart
then casually cast him aside
right where he started
even though she’d taken him for a ride
Heaven help us, make him see
there’s more to life than suffering
There’s hope for him beyond the sting
of her off-hand rejection
We will take him in hand
and we will show him
there is good in with the bad
there’s comfort in that
Someday he will shed a final tear
for a love that never had a chance
What was once opaque will be made clear
and someday he will understand
that she was never worth his misery
and that he will learn to love again
once he wipes her from his memory
then the restoration can begin
He’s always falling down
falling down head over heels
We will take him in hand
and we will show him
life’s worth living in the end
His heart will mend

about
Mark Lenover
Through a distinctive fusion of folk, rock, theatre and electronica, Mark Lenover critically examines pop culture’s ubiquitous influence, its moral philosophy and the potentially devastating effects of drug abuse and mental illness. His recent work frequently challenges an increasingly pervasive culture of celebrity, self-indulgence, distraction and desire. ... more
