I have learnt not to ask, not to let him know I'm feeling 'Cause in a cup he collects all that I was ever dreaming Then 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 And 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 that 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 Then he can come and go as he pleases So I have learnt 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 Then he can come and go as he pleases
