It’s hard to say bye-bye you
When my heart & mind tells me not to

How brave & stupid I am to embrace
You with a dagger on my face

Yet I do this like a tired boxer
Who hugs his fellow for punch no further

Sorry if I can’t leave you this way
I’m so afraid to break away

Prove me first that you bear no weapon
To strike me on the moment I abandon.
