Flame Of Ours
Love's Illusion: Lucy Lorenne's Melancholic Reflections on Unrequited Passion
Lyrics
I can see it now
I am now aware of something.
This flame of ours is burning out
Our shared passion or love is fading away.
How does heart ache feel so sweet when you fall asleep without kissing me?
The pain in my heart feels strangely pleasant when you sleep without kissing me.
Once again you've won
Once again, you have succeeded.
You've broken my heart without even trying
You've hurt me without even intending to.
I don't care for champagne and roses when you still give me nothing
I don't value romantic gestures when there's emotional emptiness.
At all
No care or attention is given at all.
When you hold me, do you feel me?
Do you experience my presence when you hold me?
When you listen, do you hear me?
Are you truly listening to me?
When you say you love me, do you mean it?
Is your declaration of love genuine?
When you look at me, do you see me?
Do you truly perceive me when you look at me?
Here we are again in the middle of the night
We find ourselves once more in the midst of the night.
But you let me go again without a fight
You let me go without putting up a fight.
They say that love is blind
Love is said to be blind.
When I think you should be mine
I believe you should be mine.
There's nothing I can do
I am helpless; there's nothing I can do.
So please leave my dreams and the songs I write
Please don't invade my dreams and the songs I create.
Cause part of me dies every time
A part of me dies each time you do.
And they pity me cause I'm caught up in you
Others feel sorry for me because I am entangled with you.
While you just see right through
You, however, see through me.
When you hold me, do you feel me?
Do you sense me when you hold me?
When you listen, do you hear me?
Is there genuine understanding when you listen?
When you say you love me, do you mean it?
Is your expression of love sincere?
When you look at me, do you see me?
Do you truly perceive me when you look at me?
I'm losing my pride, as I fall for your lies
I am losing my self-respect as I believe your lies.
Yet I love every freckle on your body
Despite that, I love every detail of your physical being.
Should I hold back my words, maybe even my tears
Should I restrain my emotions, maybe even my tears?
When you tell me
When you inform me...
When you hold me, do you feel me?
Do you sense me when you hold me?
When you listen, do you hear me?
Is there genuine understanding when you listen?
When you say you love me, do you mean it?
Is your expression of love sincere?
When you look at me, do you see me?
Do you truly perceive me when you look at me?
So you leave me lonely at a bus stop
You leave me isolated at a bus stop.
With your false words of love ringing in my head
Your insincere words of love echo in my mind.
Cause I can see it now
I can now see that our supposed flame was a product of my imagination.
This flame of ours was all in my head
This shared passion was merely a figment of my imagination.
