Savage Garden
Gunning Down Romance
Written by - Darren Hayes & Daniel Jones
From - Affirmation
Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain
And feelings of aggression are the absence of the love drug in your veins
In your veins
Love come quickly
Because I feel my self-esteem is caving in
It's on the brink
Love come quickly
Because I don't think I can keep this monster in 
It's in my skin

Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges felt but rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that privileged point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Because I console myself that Hallmark cards are true
I really do

I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heart ache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy
Love don't leave me

Take these broken wings
I'm going to take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
I'm gunning down romance
