I wrote it all down in a language I didn't know

With each pen stroke my tears begin to flow

I can't have you when I'm cold

I can't have you when I'm bold

Always in control, you have the reigns

I'm the one always trying to change

Chasing you in a hopeless race

Holding my tongue to save face

You didn't ask for this neither did I

But I'm the only whose seems to try

For you I extinguish the flame

For you my ice becomes tame

To you the golden rule won't apply

Yet to that simplest of covenants I'll abide

Your heart the jury and also the judge

Sentenced to life, I go without grudge
