I have learned not to ask Not to let him know that I'm feeling 'Cause in a cup he collects all that I was ever dreaming And he scatters it to the sea and says he's leaving And suddenly I feel that I've stopped breathing. I can't pretend to be strong, Not when he's the one I'm needing. They are wrong when they tell me I'd do better just to leave him 'Cause he takes me to a place that I can breath in, But all I can do is watch him leaving. Why can't I think of anything before him? Am I just a soul waiting for him? I don't want to know. No, it's better not to know. And he can come and go As he pleases. So I have learned not to ask, Not to let him know that I miss him. 'Cause I am so terrified to cool the fire in case I lose him. And I know he doesn't know just what he's doing. And he has no idea how far I'm falling. Why can't I think of anything before him? Am I just a soul waiting for him? I don't want to know. No, it's better not to know. He doesn't want to show, So it's better not to know. And he can come and go as he pleases.
