It seems like forever and a day
If my intentions are misunderstood
Please be kind, I've done all I should
I won't ask of you what I would not do
Oh, I saw the damage in you
My fortunate one, the ending of you

Why would they tell me to please go then laugh in my face
With all of the reasons they told us all over themselves to give way

It's not a question whether my heart is true
Streamline, I had to pull through
Look for a new beginning on you
Oh, I got a message for you
Open a way is what I've got to do
Give what you have or what you might lose

What would you say if I told you that I'm to blame
And what would you do if I had to deny your name
Where would you go if I told you I love you and then walked away
Who should I tell, if not for the ones that you could not save

I told you when I found you
If there were doubts you should be careful and unafraid
Now they surround you, all that it mounts to
Is love that you payed for, for fortune and fame

So if my affections are misunderstood
And you decide, I'm up to no good
Don't ask me to enjoy them just for you

Ask yourself what I would do to brought you down myself
To live with fortune and shame, oh yeah
When you should have turned to the hearts of the ones that you would not save

I told you when I found you
All that it mounts to
Is love that you payed for, for fortune and fame.
