Desperate Soul-singing Man
It's an "all nighter" for me
Think about how I could love you
Have fate been slightly more different,
And yet, I love the life I have been given,
I love this tragic fate I'm living,
This sad song I am singing:
You're mine, but you're gone.
I say good night, I love you.
You stay silent, you...
I can't say it... I love you, I do,
Don't you see?
Don't you see what you still do to me?
All this time, all this time.
How a rotten love like ours,
That was never eaten, but that never felt ripe,
Lays the ground for some better things to grow,
But they are left alone to die when you feel like it,
But your presence inside me remains,
Anyways: so is our story.
I see your picture after I say good night,
I love you,
Not knowing quite at that moment
I would not sleep because of you that night,
These fucking nights I wish I could spend loving you,
Don't you know what you have done to me?
What happens to my heart when my eyes
Meet your sight?
