I love you with the passion With which a moth flies into a flame Do I hate you for breaking me Or is it myself I have to blame?
For I flash you a doe-eyed smile As I let you walk into her arms I watch you fall in love with her In a nightmare of a trance
Fiercely painful from the start Like Icarus loved the sun Proudly laying down my heart To step on, as to her you run
What does it matter if my heart breaks As long as I call you mine Does it matter if she takes my place If I can buy us a little time?
The love leaves your voice each time that we talk And terror fills my being
There’s a sparkle in your eyes, with her as you walk And I turn away, unseeing
Scrambling to delay the inevitable I’ll cling to the edge of your shirt All my cards are on the table So go ahead, make me hurt
When you tell me soon, that it is her you want I’ll lovingly wash the blood off your hands Willing accomplice as you kill my soul Bury me, while by your side she stands.
