Everything you've asked, I have tried to give
Often your demands feel just like a shiv in my innermost.
Every step we take to make each other satisfied
Seems to mean two steps away, my love

And you tell me it's all for us
And I eagerly believe every word
And you say it's not dangerous
That it won't hurt us
That I need to trust
And I follow.

Every word you say is intoxicating
When I look at you I can feel you waiting for my smile and
nod.
Every intimate moment that we share
Slowly loses meaning, my everything.

And you tell me it's all okay
And I drink in every drop of you
'Cause it's harmless, so you say,
Just a game we play.
That our love will stay.
And I do it.

After all, there's nothing to it.
Flexibility is what it's all about
And if we can't bend, we'll just burn out.
Tell me, beloved, how far is far enough?
'Cause it's getting tough,
This pretending stuff.
