I must choose these words carefully
So as not to mortally wound
But still to make it perfectly clear
It was you who left our love marooned
You ended my heart’s obligation to you
A long time ago
My life is mine to own
This I instinctively know
Love is not under your control
It comes and goes as it chooses
It can live forever
But dare not you dictate its uses
It seems that these days
Arrogance is now your vice
Three strikes and you’re out
Don’t push me more than twice
Please don’t mistake my intentions
For I’ve never wanted to provoke your tears
But still here we are today
So tread lightly my dear
