my heart is full of love for you, my dear
oh, how it overwhelms, it overflows
please, i don’t want to see you shed a tear
do not worry about my hopeless woes

i know your love for me is not the same
it’s true, i must admit it is painful
as you and i play in this ceaseless game
it is fruitless and yet i am grateful

one day, you will leave me for someone else
i’m sure they will treat you better than i
just leave me be and take care of yourself
it doesn’t matter when we will both die

let us walk this tightrope of fragile love
until one of us goes from push to shove
