She tried to hold me
She tried to hold me
She didn't know
love is letting go

She said 'I'm looking for perfection'
as she strode in my direction
She cast her mantle round me,
said 'I'm completed since you found me'
She executed her enchantment
secreted me in her encampment
With diversions and pretences
she dismantled my defences

She tried to hold me
She tried to hold me
She didn't know
love is letting go

She told me I was unrealistic
and then she went ballistic
