You say you understand, that you know what it feels like, but you don't know what I've been through.
How can you say you understand if you've never felt my pain? I've suffered the pain and frustration of love. But no matter how hard I try I know you'll never be mine. 
Was i foolish to believe that one day I would be able to hold you In my arms?
Of course I was, I just wasn't man enough to admit it to myself.
Even as I began to slip away I just couldn't possibly **** myself, my love for you just wouldn't let me.
But now I regret stopping myself, now that you see me as just another one of your slaves...
