Lyrics and song (Thanks DrizzleLightBlue)
Im sorry, my dear.
I know it may hurt, my dear.
Oh, but I must, my dear.
Divorce this dead love, my dear.
I feel quite cold
now that I knowall your features,
all your charmsjust as if they were my own.
I feel quite borednow
that weve sharedevery secret,
every thought,every fear and every fault.
Im divorcing my dear only for you,
my dear so you can become my dear
just like my old dear, dear.
I feel quite cold now that I know all your features,
all your charms just as if they were my own.
I feel quite bored
now that weve shared
every secret, every thought,every fear and every fault.
