I look up, it's 10：15, and what have I achieved?
A dog-end stubbed and an idea scrubbed,
and square one looming dangerously.
I've waited on your favour for what seems a century,
I've hung round town, kicked cans around,
This pauper's life is not for me but…
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Life flits past my window
like the shadows 'cross my walls.
Patience stretched,
a hopeless wretch lies waiting on your regal call,
And ever since the day we first crossed paths
I must've crossed my heart
A thousand times along these lines,
yet still I worship from afar, but…
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
How can you say “I want you”,
How can you say “I need you”,
How can you say “I love you”,
When Highness, you know it's not true?
How can you say “I want you”,
How can you say “I need you”,
How can you say “I love you”,
When Highness, you know it's not true?
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
Highness how can you blame me?
When you play me off against your other lovers
How can you say “I love you”
