I sit here engulfed in your scent With the word“ if” screaming repent, repent, repent!
And lacking the conviction I had as I packed my bags,
Are we not torn?
But now that I’ ve left Now that I’ m gone
We would be torn in two.
If I had stayed, If I hadn’ t left
Who knew that your radiance within Was destined to cast shadows across my skin?
You knew we had so many hidden flaws? Who could tell we would not last?
The world tutted in scorn And pulled you away.
My lovely, my princess, my precious babe, As you suckled on my breast
And likewise you for me.
So you’ d never forgive me, mi amor I’ ve struck you so deep.
You’ ll never understand, mon cher Why we could never be –
And likewise me for you.
I love you, my sweet You had me unwound.
I miss you, my dear My melancholy mistress.
