My coffee's cold, my paper's old, my heart is sold to melancholia

My clothes are torn, my shoes are worn, my heart is borne to melancholia

 Ahhh...

A strange surprise, what I despised in other guys was here in me
They lose their girl, they lose their world then they cry for all to see

I've never felt so bad, the virus drives me mad

The sheets are gray, left since the day she went away, I lost all power
The dust is thick, the dog is sick 
The kids have picked most all the flowers
