Every time you look at me

You have to turn away

Because I’m not the one you want to see

You tell me I’ll never understand

You have no idea

---

For every tear you shed

I will cry one hundred

Each piece of your heart

Reflects a thousand of mine

You tell me that I’m lucky

You have no idea

---

You mourn for a woman who is gone

I mourn for a man who is here

But not the man he was

You tell me that I’ll never feel your pain

You have no idea

---

You wish it had been you

I wish it had been me

Because then we’d both be sure

That the one we love is safe

You tell me that I’ll never know what sacrifice is

You have no idea

---

You never hear me cry at night

But whenever I hear you

I know you’ll never love me

You tell me that my heart is whole

You have no idea

---

Your love for her is free

My love for you is in a cage

Who is better off?

I have no idea
