This song contains many similarities to Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” in which a man can not let go his memories of his late love Lenore.
[Verse 1]
The world's a liar
Foolish of me
Misfortune fires
I'll only bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
Another burden
Another memory
Just keep my mouth shut
I won't say a thing
[Chorus]
For my
Poor Lenore
Poor Lenore
Poor Lenore
Poor Lenore
[Verse 2]
It faults and falls down
Devil in me
An easy rider
Sharp young athlete
[Pre-Chorus]
Another burden
Another memory
Just keep my mouth shut
I won't say a thing
[Chorus 2]
For my
Poor Lenore
Poor Lenore
So insecure
Poor Lenore
Poor Lenore
Poor Lenore
So insecure
Poor Lenore
[Bridge]
Night terrors won't leave me alone
They won't leave me alone
Although I'd love to walk you home
They won't leave me alone
Night terrors won't leave me alone
They won't leave me alone
Although I'd love to walk you home
[Chorus 3]
For my
Poor Lenore (Night terrors won't leave me alone)
Poor Lenore (They won't leave me alone)
So insecure (Although I'd love to walk you home)
Poor Lenore (They won't leave me alone)
Poor Lenore (Night terrors won't leave me alone)
Poor Lenore (They won't leave me alone)
So insecure (Although I'd love to walk you home)
Poor Lenore (They won't leave me alone)
