and I' m leading the proper dance,
so I'll love myself
as much as I love you.

Do not misinterpret what I've said,
it is the world' s simplest recipe.
Feel me so I may feel you, though it may hurt you.
Loving, I'm telling you, is most costly.
Look me in the eyes patiently,
get rid of other people's influence,
feel me so I may feel you, though it may hurt you.
Loving, I'm telling you, is most costly.

I'm in love and I care about nothing,
and, most surprisingly, being with you
I've learned to love myself
as much as I love you.

I cannot bear the image of this world,
I will not disappear in its shadow.
The elves have cast a spell over you too.
You hang about in the arms of someone else.
Let the wounds not scare us, my soul;
they stand beside our golden moments.
Feel me so I may feel you, though it may hurt you.
Loving, I'm telling you, is most costly.

I'm in love and I care about nothing,
and I've made me a new self.
Now I love myself too
as much as I love you
