Pierrot

I loved you too much
at that time that's all I did
but already I'm tired of looking at you
someone else is in my arms

Now my love becomes nothing
hatred wells up inside me
I want to tear it all down
my selfishness, too, do you like it?

More than words, much more I wanted
just your body was what I wanted

A lone pierrot performing before the mirror
softly comes before me to say
is it me or is it her who makes you suffer?
all alone I'm whispering

By the time I realised it, I had hurt you
We don't understand each other, but I'm here
