You said you'd follow me anywhere,
A life to live, a life to share.
And I... I wanted to believe it was true.
But the fault, my dear, was never there with you.

Oh, it isn't that we're incompatible.
It's the risk of my... unbearable...
...weight to carry...
I feel our auras clash, and mine's a mess.
And your light deserves so much more than this distress.

'Cause no matter where I go, that's where I am.
This brooding, selfish man behind the bars.
And I'm terrified you wouldn't survive that, my dear.
No, I'm certain you couldn't survive that.

I bring the clouds in with me, like a tide I can't command.
Every hopeful, sunny room gets dimmed out where I stand.
And you need sun... you need space... you need open air...
Everything I scare away when I am there.

'Cause no matter where I go, that's where I am!
This brooding, selfish man behind the bars!
And I know that you won't survive that, my dear!
I'm pushing you away to save you from that!

'Cause no matter where I go... that's where I am..
This broken, selfish man behind the bars...
And I know that you won't... you can't survive that...
I'm ending this to save you from that...

It just couldn't work...
No... it just couldn't work at all...
