Lyrics

Love, gold in the sand
So hard to find, and harder to understand
It stops you in your tracks
Sparkles and shines, then leaves you empty-handed
Love screws up your life
A party for two - sorry, you're not invited
Now the one that you want
Wants someone new
Say a prayer for the unrequited

CHORUS: Nobody knows the way to find the love they're looking for
No magic words to say to make it last forever more
I am a wounded soldier seeking out another war
Tell me how does anybody see it through?

Love, dragging you down
A short road to hell, burning you up inside and still
Your heart lingers on, under the spell
Of a prayer for the unrequited

CHORUS

CHORUS: Nobody knows the way to find the love they're looking for
No magic words to say to make it last forever more
I am a wounded soldier seeking out another war
So imagine my surprise when I found you

Love scares me to death
But I let you in, and I pray you won't break my heart in two
Prayer for the unrequited
