Stop persisting this love affair between us.

It grows, the heat aound us,

People try to figure me out,

Tell me who to be with, who to love.

My body tells me yes, but my mind says no.

It knows the consequences,

But I want you even more.

You want me to love,

I can't.

My heart won't work.

It can't love anymore.
