Would you feel I had betrayed you
Lied to you, even enslaved your
Feelings in a tangled web of liesI'd chase after your hand in vain,
And ask if you were in pain
Because I seem to see it in your eyesYou mean to me so much a treasure
One that I would not dare measure
But I feel that I have crossed a lineTo treat you now in such a manner
And fly under anothers banner, Seems
to me, much of a treasonous crimeThis, to me, is not a game
This love of ours is not the same,
If I were to love another but at night, still call your nameI've burned myself upon our flame,
and still feel it was such a shame
But looking back, I see I have none but myself to blameMy dearest, I feel such a fright
When I think back to the night
When under a starry sky, we nearly kissedAnd in search of something better
Lost our own young love forever
And it will be left a chance that we have missed
