I know not what is going on
But I know I am in love.
All I can do is think of you,
Which tears my heart apart.
You may not know it but there are others,
Others who feel as I do.
If those others meant nothing to me,
Of course I’d be with you.
All day and night, this troubles me
And little sleep I get.
But when I finally fall asleep
My mind is yet at rest.
There we are just you and me,
Exactly how I want it to be.
In my dreams, no problems I see.
‘Tis a place where my mind can go free,
Where my thoughts are only controlled by me.
But when I awake I lose that control,
That make me me and sets me free
From the troubles I face and the problems I see,
That are all somehow caused by me!
But my love for thee will never expire.
You are the one I truly desire
And you are the one I most admire.
But my heart is still set on fire.
By the torment I face everyday,
When I see your face and see the truth
And when I see there is no other way...
So I lay down my sword, for I surrender.
I have had enough games and play.
But that sword will always be there,
Ready for battle, ready for that day.
