Ode to the Lonely Heart

This song might have the most incorrect lyrics written on the internet I've ever seen, also has a lot of difficult to understand lyrics, here's how I hear them, tell me where I'm wrong! Please stay away till the end of the night, when nothing's on the run Please stay away till I can't fight, the reason and the thought Though I've seen of their happiness, I can only be damned Go take your soul, make an Ode to the Lonely Hearted These broken dreams are not what they seem, there's so much more than this I can't see how she won't think now, of everything we'll miss All the words that have gone before, may as well have been none Go take your soul, make an Ode to the Lonely Hearted Go take your soul, make an Ode to the Lonely Hearted I know it's a real life story, but there's so little time I know it's a real nice story, but it's easy to find These cigarettes weren't really the thing, they're just to ease my mind I wonder so if she'll ever know, of all we've left behind Of the thirty one dreams we had, thirty one were my own Go take your soul, make an Ode to the Lonely Hearted Go take your soul, make an Ode to the Lonely Hearted Go take your soul, make an Ode to the Lonely Hearted

This song in my opinion is about a guy that was jealous over a girl, and when he finally had her, he was so in love with her that he smothered her and she died from some reason and he's completely heart-broken now because he realized what he has done and how he wishes he "shared" love instead of just pouring it all on her.

the rythem of this song is quite to the heart,and it's about to give up or go on.

i like the way marks voice sounds when he sings these cigarettes wont relieve a thing theyre just to ease my mind. it has a flutter thing im not sure i just like it :)

this song is really easy to play on my guitar, so im always playing it. i love the lyrics and i love singing them.

In a nutshell: I think this song is about unrequited love. He's been in a relationsip with someone and it's meant something more to him than to the object of his affections. He's been dumped and is heart broken and he's wondering if they ever realized how much they meant to them. Great line about the cigarettes, best reason for smoking I've ever heard!
