It's so strange he doesn't show me more affection than he needs
Almost formal, too respectful, never takes romantic leads
There are times when I imagine I'm not always on his mind
He's not thinking what I'm thinking, always half a step behind
Always half a step behind

I'm in every kind of trouble, can't you tell, just look at me
Half ecstatic, half dejected, all in all I'm all at sea
Easy turns I thought I wanted, fill me now with chilling dread
You can never know the chaos, of a life turned on its head
Of a life turned on its head

I am certain that I love him, but a love can be misplaced
Have I compromised my people in my passion and my haste
I could be his life companion anywhere but where we are
Am I leader, am I traitor, did I take a step too far
Did I take a step too far

[The demo version replaces the third verse with the following verse:]

<DD>Take a little time to panic, shake off your complacent state
<DD>I know all I ever wished to, of a life destroyed by fate
<DD>It's so strange you never notice anything but where you are
<DD>Step outside your gleaming prison, or is that a step too far
<DD>Or is that a step too far
