before we even knew it
the third year of our
love had come and passed;
we'll never be caught when we
pretend to be a happy couple
because no one knows that
you're only happy when
you're with her,
why is she still waiting for you?
honestly i don't need to ask
because i'd wait for you too

i sometimes feel bad
for keeping you trapped
in this marriage with me
but other times your words
are so very convincing that
i believe you when you say
you love me and you
don't mind being mine
(not hers)
so i won't question it
and you won't leave me

it's not as if you're allowed
to leave me anyway,
our parents forbade it
and i know that it makes
you so unhappy:
maybe you would feel
more comfortable with me
if i looked and acted
more like her
so more like her
i will become
