I wouldn't stand it
If you would look down on me
You may think I lost it
And that may just be
But if I don't tell you
What is burning inside
You won't understand
Why my heart feels sad
I never felt so alone
When the day before
I thought in silence
Getting nowhere
Love told me out loud
That I never had you
That I never lost you
And I tried to figure
That love is something given
Fast enkindled in flames
Forcing it will just cease it to be
Without a beginning
It reaches its end
Maybe now you can understand
That if you touch me
I'll be burned
Maybe now you can understand
And not see me when I cry
Cry for you
Cry Without you
That I get it
You aren't for me
I never thought it'll be this
When there was happiness
And our laughter
Was everywhere
But it was just a thought
That I'll always have you
That I'll never lose you
But it was just that
Now the love is only one
Half the flames
It's supposed to be
Without a beginning
It reaches its end
Maybe now you can understand
That if you touch me
I'll be burned
Maybe now you can understand
And not see me when I cry
Cry for you
Cry Without you
That I get it
You aren't for me
