Mercenary

You have to believe me
Surrender completely
I just want you to be near
‘Cos I’m all alone here
Feeling fragile and confused
But your absence will make me choose
And the tailors of time have
Washed away my friend
My friend…
If you could see me now
As I really am
Would you believe somehow?
Simplicity demand
If you could see through me
As I really am
What would you want to say?
Simplicity demand
Don’t try to erase me
Destroy or molest me
And don’t you dare
To pretend to care
About my new-found meaning
You’ll have to believe me
Surrender completely
To accept that you’re lonely
