Please don't tear my love apart
and just ignore my naive heart,
don't break me down to win your game,
and beat a helpless score.

Please don't make me feel so bad,
my darkened world is yet so sad,
I beg you, don't take pleasure
in saddening it some more.

Please don't drag my dreams away
and take more meaning from each day,
for how can I rise higher
when I'm dying on the floor?

Please don't leave me far behind
when your success in life you find,
remember please, that I was here
so many years before.

Please don't let me lose my soul,
or dig myself a deeper hole,
for all I'll do is stumble
and lay to rest, I'm sure...
