Of the two of us,
you need to be stronger...
Not because I'm weak,
but because
I don't know
how not to be strong.
I've been raised
to have my chin up and
head proud,
so, my dear,
I ask that you
steel yourself more,
you need to be stronger...
Because we need to accept
that there's a possibility that
we won't be good for each other anymore...
when love alone will no longer suffice...
My prince, please be stronger -
Walk away when you feel
that we are slowly dying
out of loving each other.
We are only human,
I am only human,
I will fight for us,
but I will not care if it's right.
See, that's why you
need to be stronger...
I ask that you fall deaf to my pleas,
I ask that you close your eyes and
walk away...
I will not hold in against you -
I will not.
So please, be strong enough
for the both of us,
when you feel tired and when
our love is nothing but poison to our hearts,
I pray that you
will have the courage to
break my heart.
Walk away and don't look back.
The last thing I want
is to hold you back...
Please be strong enough to let go
even if I'm still holding on.
Leave me be and
I will understand.
I will not keep you from happiness.
I will never forgive myself if I do.

Don't rescue me,
when that time comes,
think not of me as your princess...
I am a bitter queen keeping you from
your happy ending...
Let's not believe in forever and have contingency plans.
