Drifting into loneliness
  -as though it made a difference
Watching her miss him
  -pretend it doesn't hit you

Writing from a distance
Loving from afar
Nothing but resistance
Nothing but a star

	Knowing it will never be
	Knowing she will never see
	Knowing you will never free your soul
	Knowing it can not be true
	Knowing it can not be you
	Knowing you could never do at all

	Knowing that your love's a sin
	Knowing you will never win
	Knowing you have fallen from the start
	Knowing things won't be the same
	Knowing you're the one to blame
	Knowing you will never tame her heart

Run around in dog-chain circles
Bark at each smooth-talkin' guy
Run around and jump those hurdles
Howl at every moon-stained sky

Paint yourself the hero of your favourite tragic trash
Swear by Jove and Venus up above
Stand tall as ancient notions and modern dating clash
Hold true to the ideals of courtly love

	Knowing it will never be
	Knowing she will never see
	Knowing you will never free your soul
	Knowing it can not be true
	Knowing it can not be you
	Knowing you could never do at all

	Knowing that your love's a sin
	Knowing you will never win
	Knowing you have fallen from the start
	Knowing things won't be the same
	Knowing you're the one to blame
	Knowing you will never tame her heart
