My dainty dove,

let me unchain you,

set you free today

I have seen my love

Eat away at you

I have witnessed you

Longing to break free

Darling, I'm aware

That my love can be relentless

I have tried loving you less

And seldom

But I can't help this heart of mine

Wish I didn't have to tone down my love

Just so you could breathe fine
