theres no reward, nothing to gain-
i should recognize my own virtue;
and leave behind your heedless pain.
to love you, is like drowning;
theres no air, nothing to inhale-
i should see this bleeding;
and drain you away till i pale.
to love you, is like walking backwards;
theres no forward, nothing to see-
i should wander out of these woods;
and set my own self free.
to love you, is like fighting a war;
theres no harmony, nothing to confer-
i should find the white flagged door;
and find will too surrender
to love you, is like being powerless;
theres no vigor, nothing to attain-
i should really kneel and confess;
and stop living my life in vain.
