My mistress hid me far away,
To protect us both from pain.
Your heart it showed me fleeting dreams,
And I was free again.

My mistress, she protested,
But I knew I knew better;
That I belonged with your heart,
Forever us together.

Valiantly she fought for me,
In blissful ignorance I remained.
If only I had heeded her,
I'd have never known this pain.

From inside out i'm bleeding,
These wounds will never heal.
It was you who did this to me,
You caused this pain i feel.

To you i gave my love, my soul,
To you I gave my all,
But you're the one who broke me,
The one who caused it all.

I went back to my mistress wounded,
And I limped back into my cell,
There I shall stay shackled,
For i've learnt my lesson well.
