To be the perfect one, I tried so hard to be
A woman to behold, who stands out with her beauty
No, not the kind you think of, which only meets the eye
But that beyond appearance, but that beyond the sky
–
In total silence and deep reminiscence
With none a word, with none a sentence
My soul wails in pain, so great
Yet cannot bear to hate
–
Am I at fault for feeling blue?
Am I to blame for loving you?
Is it a sin to dearly love?
Will I be punished for this I have?
–
To strive and push through life so hard
Through thick and thin, and trouble sparred
To aim to be the best in your eyes
But then contrary, me you despise
–
What lack I yet? Is it not enough?
What lack I yet? I’ve been through rough
What lack I yet? Oh, please tell me
What lack I yet? Why can’t I see?
–
Questions flood this simple mind
And day by day, oh, answers find
Yet still in ignorance, loving, I remain
Is this too much? Am I insane?
–
Oh, let me ask you this again
Before you leave me, who knows when
What lack I yet? What lack I yet?
Tell me, my love, what lack I yet?
