my heart feels rather strained
because its strings are out of tune
my expression's much to pained
I'm conditioned by the moon
it causes hope to sink on key
something you won't discuss with me
I can feel your sharp disdain
from which I'm not immune
your silence hurts my ears
not to mention heart and soul
all I have to hold are fears
when I find that lump of coal
that you put in my silk stocking
you may think my words are shocking
but I swallow prideful tears
that arise out of control
refrain: what's your problem, dear
do I make you nervous when I'm near
did I jump the shark
or were you in it for a lark
I was serious when I said
what was in my heart and head
but it's become plain to see
you were never into me
but you never read a word
that I have written to you
I don't know what's more absurd
my hope for love or heart so blue
so I choose to sit and wait
since you'll only hesitate
true love always feels deterred
though it's simply overdue
refrain
this raw feeling will not end
without something resolute
while I choke on what to send
your heart seems to just refute
what is sacred and complete
I pine while you just retreat
why can't you even comprehend
you're just my own forbidden fruit
refrain
