don't love me so fiercely

I am only weak

and tired of my passion

and yearning for a break--

don't love me so fiercely

I'll only disappoint

what you imagine I am--

your own crucial mistake--

don't love me so fiercely

you should not anoint

the image I am of all

who left to make you ache

don't love me quite so fiercely

I'll cool on you quickly

because you could not match

my crooked ideal

don't love me so fiercely

our troubles each to each

will never pardon our egos

or make the pain less real
