I only want to touch.
But I must stay and find a way
To stop before it gets too much!
All my barriers are going.

“I won't stand bein' broken hearted;
I won't be pushed around.
The rules were set when we got started,
But lately I have foundWe've spent too little time and too much heartache.
I feel we're losin' ground.
And lately I've been hearin'
You won't be needin' me around.”

given that my love is here
shall always stay attached to these hearts.
I shall never bid farewell to this place!
But I have to send this body
anyhow from here.”
