lyrics

You give me love but always at a distance.
You want to be my unaffectionate mistress.
I get nowhere with your heart of resistance.
You want to be my unaffectionate mistress.
I give it up and you give me indifference.
You want to be my unaffectionate mistress.
I carry on through this hopeless existence.
You want to be my unaffectionate mistress now.

The give and the take, it's one and the same
If you put it off until something breaks.
Before it can start, I feel it depart,
That moment of having you on my arm.
And so let it be, this horror in me
Thinking there's something that I can't see.
We've been here a while, and I make you smile.
But if you want love, you don't feel mine.

In my leap of faith, you want to escape.
You just pass it off like it's something vague
Compared to the start, we're further apart.
That feeling of sinking is all my heart.
What could it be you wanted in me?
It must have been something that I can't see.
I thought that you might feel it inside
But you'll never know what it feels like.

And I thought we were searching for This hopeless thing that we can't find.
I can only think why did I...?

Then finally when you're blithe and you're listless
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress.
You'll show me love but you'll feel my resistance,
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress.
Your open arms will be met with disinterest.
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress.
You'll realize it's too late and you've missed this.
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress.
You'll give me love, and I'll give you resistance.
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress.
You'll get nowhere now despite your persistence.
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress.
You'll feel my touch and its trembling indifference.
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress.
The years will haunt you, someday you will miss this.
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress now.
