Constantly, Constantly questioning your love, Constantly spying to reveal The stronghold where you guard your secrets Means I cannot breathe. The air is thickening above, The atmosphere's become congealed And, suffocating, I am weakened. Reason as I may, try as I might to remain calm, To find completely commonplace All of the evidence around you, Much to my dismay I still keep watch despite my qualms, Searching for weakness, for disgrace, Listening to everyone who doubts you, Even the wind whispers about you.
In this new film, what do you see That's so unique compared to me? And that new scarf I watch you tie, Is it more rare than you and I?
Tell me now, you know that I can comprehend. Tell me things I am afraid to apprehend. Tell me please, you know that I can understand. Answer me. No, don't look back, you mustn't know. I look grotesque following like your shadow.
You betray With such predictable pretence, With all that should remain unsaid When someone truly loves completely. I should have known one day You would be ready to dispense With all my scars that made you shed The tears that once you wept so sweetly. It's true, some complaints Should be contended with alone, Without requiring your help, For only bastards beg assistance. So with no restraint Continue calling me a clown, Continue living for yourself And I will smile without resistance; I know our love has no existence.
No, none of this is new to me, I've read about it endlessly. Our story isn't rare at all Now that the thrill begins to pall.
Take my word, I've seen it countless times before Too banal and trite and guaranteed to bore Like a fairytale that pledges evermore Carelessly.
If I were you, I would beware This man unhappy with his share Who kneels before you in the dust While foolishly repeating us... us... us... us.
