I know it’s not my place for you
to bear the cross bestowed.
Upon your slender shoulders love
a fiery price is owed.

And it’s not fair for anyone
to be set in that life
you didn’t ask for didn’t want
you became Reality’s wife.

But while I gnash my teeth and protest loud
screaming how I feel
It doesn’t change Reality
it’s your life he’ll still steal.

So let me do this little thing,
just let me talk to you.
Because you’re mine, as I am yours,
this I know is true.
