Lyrics

I reach for her wrist, there's a subtle twitch
Her eyes light wide without a hitch
She says hello in perfect pitch
Inanimate or sentient
I'm not sure I can't tell which
Perhaps there's some sort of a glitch

Only fools'll bet when the deck is stacked
You just can't love what won't love back
We can't deny this simple fact
You can't love what won't love back

Her empty gaze, no words for days
Tears are shed but hearts unfazed
Our paths converge in separate ways
A cold caress, emotionless
Issues we don't dare address
Replacing pain with emptiness

What does your head say now

Only fools'll bet when the deck is stacked
You just can't love what won't love back
We can't deny this simple fact
You can't love what won't love back
Only fools'll bet when the deck is stacked
You just can't love what won't love back
We can't deny this simple fact
Can't love what won't love back

Looking into her eyes for someone that's not even there
Feel alone when we're together nothing to share
Was she gone before she said goodbye
Was she never ever even there

She was a mannequin I dressed with feelings of my own
Apparently I had enough to keep us fully clothed
The naked truth now all too real, a stoic steel has been revealed
We can touch, but she can't feel, our fate has coldly been sealed

What does your heart say now

Only fools'll bet when the deck is stacked
You just can't love what won't love back
We can't deny this simple fact
You can't love what won't love back
A train can't roll where there ain't no track
You just can't love what won't love back
You won't stay home if your bags are packed
You can't love what won't love back
