My true feelings I keep hidden She's of far too noble birth There's no way that I would dare to tell her that I love her (She's a queen and you're a servant) I will do as I am bidden (Just an ordinary merchant) I am only here to serve (Driven by the secret love) Her eyes outshine the brightest stars above her And she will never know 'Cause I will never show What's deep inside me Let Tantalus guide me She rules my world Her beauty runs like acid through my veins Poisoning my blood, my heart, my brains She rules my world She will go and I will follow I am at her beck and call And as close as I will ever come to being her lover (She is only an illusion) I can ease her pain and sorrow (. . . . . harbours (?) the confusion) I can catch her would she fall (Driven by the secret love) I can even take away the dream that makes her suffer And she will never know 'Cause I will never show What's deep inside me Let Tantalus guide me She rules my world Her beauty runs like acid through my veins Poisoning my blood, my heart, my brains She rules my world
