Emotionally devastated the singer realizes his whole experience with her was an illusion, he was manipulated for a long time, and wakes up to that fact.

Lyrics

I'm always knockin
upon your door
you never answer
like you did before
and if they ask you,
"can you explain?"
that's hard hard luck lorraine.

I took your picture
down from my wall
I tore the peices
I let them fall
just pretty paper
upon my floor
that's hard, hard luck lorraine

*chorus*
you know I need to know
why you do the things you do
it's just causin such pain
I'll never understand it
I dont know why I try
you tell me all my love's in vain
****
that summer day
that we both shared
was just illusion
you never cared
and if they ask me
"can you explain?"
that's hard, hard luck lorraine
she's hard, hard to explain
***
I know the day you left me
I could see it in your eyes
it was never there before

and now you draw the curtain
to cover up your shame
and you can safely close the door

Youve grown so silent
you've grown so cold
your words are empty
you lies are old
and if this hurts you -
and makes you cry
that's hard, hard luck lorraine.
