โYou may not remember me. I was a child.โ
โI will relate to you how our histories interweave.โ
โFind him, tie him to a pole and break his fingers to splinters.โ
โThe captain of his ship was known for wanton cruelty.โ
โWhat providence, what divine intelligence that you should survive as well as me!โ
โHow we kissed so sweetly- how could I refuse a favour or two?โ
โTheyโll never catch me now.โ
โWe will escape somehow.โ
โThat mouthโs no good for you.โ
"Iโm not trying to make excuses, Iโm just trying to put some meaning into the struggles that weโre going through.โ
โI could tell you itโll change but it never does.โ
โYouโre the reason that I got this far.โ
โItโs coming, the moment we waited for so long.โ
โLet get this over with.โ
โI keep on thinking itโs time to move on.โ
โNow Iโm sort of happy, most of the time.โ
โYouโre never getting rid of me.โ
โYou own me. Thereโs nothing you can do.โ
โI dreamt about you nearly every night this week.โ
โHow many secrets can you keep?โ
โIโm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you.โ
โI donโt know if you feel the same as I do.โ
โWe could be together, if you wanted to.โ
โTell me if somehow, some of it remained, how long you would wait for me?โ
โAnd the nights were as dark as my baby - half as beautiful, too.โ
โOh, but youโre good to me.โ
โYou know better than to talk to it like that.โ
โDonโt let me in with no intention to keep me.โ
"Jesus Christ, donโt be kind to me.โ
โI know who I am when Iโm alone. Iโm something else when I see you.โ
โYou donโt understand, you should never know how easy you are to need.โ
โI see what youโre doing here. Youโre looking to disappear.โ
โYou belong to someone.โ
โI donโt even quite belong in your life.โ
โNo, I donโt want you to go. But I donโt know what other avenue is open to us both.โ
โI know what you think of me.โ
โMaybe you were wrong.โ
โYou knew very well what was coming next.โ
โI donโt owe you anything. But you owe me something: repay me now.โ
โYou should not go to them. Let them come to you.โ
โI want him to touch me."ย
โThat voice whispering you down.โ
"I donโt know the loneliness youโve known."ย
"I canโt read your mind, though Iโm trying all the time."ย
"Iโm left in awe of the woman I adore.โ
โIโm in love with you.โ
โYour secret is safe with me.โ
โSweetheart, you look a little tired."ย
"You know you had it coming, my friend.โ
โWhen you move, I can recall something thatโs gone from me.โ

QUEEN lyrics
Edited/paraphrased for clarity.
He was the son of a whore.
The man is evil.
Donโt believe all you read in The Bible.
I have raised my voice in anger when I know I never should.
You know youโll never leave me.
I fought with you, fought on your side.
Youโll get forgotten if you donโt let them have their fun.
Thereโs no living in my life anymore.
Why did you have to leave me?
Why did you deceive me?
You said you didnโt love me anymore.
Do you mean it?
Why donโt you mean it?
Why do I follow you and where do you go?
Like going up to Heaven and then coming back alive.
Put them in the cellar with the naughty boys.
Iโll be what you make me. Iโll do what you like.
Funny how love is anywhere youโre bound to be.
Thatโs what love is.
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust.
You are mine; I possess you.
I belong to you forever.
Well sheโs gone, dear, gone this morning.
Oh, Lord, what a fool Iโve been.
Anything you ask, I do for you.
Iโm jealous of her.
Iโm warm and terrified; she makes me so.
Who knows where my dreams will end?
Is your conscience alright? Does it keep you awake at night?
Do you feel good?
I feel so romantic. Can we do it again?
He told of death as a bone white haze.
In the end it appears there was never really anyone but me.
Youโve captured my love, stolen my heart, changed my life.
You might believe in Heaven; I would not care to say.
Take a little love from me, I want to share it with you.
My fine friend - take me with you and love me forever.
To fall in love was my very first mistake.
If I canโt have you when Iโm waking, Iโll go to sleep and dream Iโm with you.
Iโll dress so fine youโre gonna love me when you see me, I wonโt have to worry.
Loneliness is my hiding place.
Just one year of love is better than a lifetime alone.
Pain is all I got when all I needed was some love and affection.
Pain is so close to pleasure.
Yes, we were vicious. Yes, we could kill.
It finally happened. Iโm going slightly mad.
I feel like no one ever told the truth to me.
Itโll drain the power thatโs in you, make you plead and scream and crawl, and the pain will make you crazy.
Youโd give your life? Youโd sell your soul?
