lyrics

I don’t want to be known as the one who led you on and broke your heart
Please believe me my love, way deep down I really don’t want us to part
And I do know just how much you risked in order to be here with me
Having pined for you for so long, I never would have thought I’d ever set you free
But you know that where this is taking me is something I had no way to know
And although I love you and I’ve tried so hard it’s a place I just can’t go
You deserve to be with someone who is able to give you what you need
She is out there somewhere, honey-bunny, but much to my dismay she isn’t me

For so long from the bottom of my heart I have believed
(bottom of my heart)
That I would be the one for you, and you would be the one for me
(you would be the one)
But I can’t be the insect that you need me to be
I can’t be the insect that you need me to be

(I just can’t play the role you need
this fetish is too much for me)
