My dear young lover, this is just to say I'm gone I couldn't leave you if I faced your eyes and shaking It was my emptiness that kept me hanging on Forgive my loneliness, there's nothing I could say And this is why our love must die I thought of other girls when you made love to me You gave yourself too much and I took full advantage The more I pushed you back the more you clung to me Don't want to be the one who reminds you of your father This is why our love must die My dear young lover, that was just to say I'm gone I couldn't face your just the morning after, shaking I'll come back one day when I feel so alone Until then I know I'll just get my things and go And this is why our love must die Our love must die, our love must die Our love must die, our love must die Our love must die, our love must die Our love must die, our love must die
