I cannot build a pyramid
I cannot imagine how
Except to dig a hole
But I’m already in one
So why dig another?

I’ve never wanted to run away
Especially without love by my side
But I cannot believe what I hear anymore
Lying is the new morality
I thought of it
But I know what is true when it comes to you

I can tell how hard you are trying to forget me
But you can’t if it has become your life
I know everything about you
At least what you decided to show me
Again you brought me to the brink
So close without admitting it
Was it to tell me what I could not have
Or was it to find out something you did not know

Yes I can
Yes I can
Yes I can
Whatever it was that you asked
Even though I really didn’t know
Yes I can
And I did

We swam together
Our bodies were submerged
Our faces like swans
It was as if we knew one another
The beauty was a reminder
But the way you swam away was too

The temptation of you is greater than ever
But so is the will that I have to live my life
You made me wait as I did you
In a game of getting even
We only fooled each other
But we knew that already
Because true love is that way
