Romantic Fatigue Lyrics - Singles - Frank Turner

I have to admit that I am one of the many 

Who thought that a guitar would win him a lady. 

My teenage years, they were a feminine drought, 

And I thought that a serenade would help out. 

And it seemed to be working for a couple of years - 

I wrote a few songs and they wrought a few tears. 

But when I hit my twenties, it ran out of steam. 

I seemed to be suffering from romantic fatigue. 

And I never know which song I should play her - 

Each melody is a memory of a not-forgotten failure. 

So when I get out my guitar tonight to do what I do, 

Remember, I probably didn't write this song for you.

So as I have mentioned, the shelf-life was short. 

The scheme wasn't working, despite what I thought. 

The ladies all left me alone in the end, 

So I had to switch all the names around and then sing it again. 

And every life-long love, and every best friend, 

Slipped away into the past. 

Take my words with caution - I can't pretend that you're the first, 

You won't be the last.

I never know which song I should play her - 

Each melody is a memory of a not-forgotten failure. 

So when I get out my guitar tonight to do what I do, 

Remember, I probably didn't write this song, 

No I certainly didn't write this song, 

No I never, never wrote a song for you.
