Testi
Alone and yet alive.
My soul is still my body's prisoner.
Remote, the peace that death alone can give.
My doom: to wait. My punishment: to live, to live.
Oh living I, come tell me why.
When hope is gone, do you stay on?
Why linger here when all is drear?
Oh living I, come tell me why.
When is hope is gone, do you stay on?
May not a cheated woman die?
May not a cheated woman die?
Hearts do not break. They sting and ache
For old love's sake but do not die.
Though with each breath they long for death
As witnesseth the living I, the living I.
Oh living I, come tell me why.
When hope is gone, do you stay on?
Why linger here when all is drear?
Oh living I, you better come and tell me why.
When hope is gone do you stay on?
Why linger here when you can fly?
Does not a cheated woman die?
