You're as faithful as a shadow and as graceful as the wind

And I want you to know that while I know I don't deserve you

We both know I'd never hurt you

And my only fear is I'll persevere the bitter end

I don't want to live, don't want to pretend

As my only love nears the bitter end

You are lovelier now than you've ever been before

And I want you to know that while you are far from perfect

There's not a single thing I'd correct

And it's your tiny flaws that will bring me pause

Before the bitter end

I don't want to live, don't want to pretend

As my only love nears the bitter end

The bitter end, the bitter end, the bitter end

I don't want to live, don't want to pretend

As my only love nears the bitter end
