1. The flow of tears and intensity of breath
Bear witness to what I suffer for your love

2. You donned harshness, then clothed me in estrangement
Great is the difference between your garb and mine

3. O you who desire our union yet repel it
Beware what people say should not deter you

4. Unite me with you, and if blame precedes you
Forever wrap your head against what they say of me
