I have learnt not to ask, not to let him know I'm feeling 
 'Cause in a cup he collects all that I was ever dreaming 
 Then he scatters it to the sea and says he's leaving 
 And suddenly I feel that I've stopped breathing 
 I can't pretend to be strong, not when he's the one I'm needing 
 And they are wrong when they tell me I'd do better just to leave him 
 'Cause he takes me to a place that I can breath in 
 But all that I can do is watch him leaving 
    Why can't I think of anything before him? 
 Am I just a soul waiting for him?   
 I don't want to know 
 No, it's better not to know 
 Then he can come and go as he pleases   
 So I have learnt not to ask, not to let him know that I miss him 
 'Cause I am so terrified to cool the fire in case I lose him 
 And I know he doesn't know just what he's doing 
 And he has no idea how far I'm falling   
 Why can't I think of anything before him? 
 Am I just a soul waiting for him?   
 I don't want to know 
 No, it's better not to know 
 He doesn't want to show 
 So it's better not to know 
 Then he can come and go as he pleases
