[English]
If you leave me now, I won’t be able to survive
You chained me to your skirt and taught my soul to depend on you
You bound my skin to your skin and your lips to mine
You planted your mind in mine, like a sword in the stone
And now, you leave me as if I were just anything
If you leave me now, I won’t be able to feel again
You took me away from everything, and now you let me sink in the mud
It’s so hard for me to believe you have no heart
That I’ve been, in your chain of love, just another link
And in your ladder, a step you don’t mind stepping on and hurting
I’m trapped in the webs of a poem
It’s you who can help me or condemn me
You’re the best part of my past
It’s you who still has me in love
It’s you, only you
It’s you, only you
If you leave me now, my spirit will follow you
It will ride, day and night, feeling like a dreamer and a knight
Because you bound my skin to your skin and your lips to mine
You planted your mind in mine, like a sword in the stone
And now, you leave me as if I were just anything
I’m trapped in the webs of a poem
It’s you who can help me or condemn me
You’re the best part of my past
It’s you who now has me in love
It’s you, only you
It’s you, only you
I’m trapped in the webs of a poem
It’s you who can help me or condemn me
It’s you, only you
It’s you, only you
It’s you, only you
It’s you, only you
It’s you, only you
It’s you
