You know that if you fall, I will catch you
I trust you, you can trust me
Your weary eyes are filled with tears
For you are distraught,
I can’t bear to see you in this state
It pains me to watch you
Watching you is like self-destruction
Because you are my loved one,
I know I care
You know I care
I do not want you to be like this,
I don’t!
But now you are infected,
Infected with sadness
