I, I know I can learn
To laugh, laugh as I burn
At least I know why
I must sing as I cry
Like a dog for a child

Melting my heart
Is too easy for you
Like ice in the sun

So, we come to the end
With no, need to pretend
Say, say what you like
But I, I know your type
You give something and then
You take it away
Like a toy from a child

Melting my heart
Is too easy for you
Like ice in the sun

And now, now I can see
It's all as it must be
I, I know I can learn
To laugh, laugh as I burn

At least I know why
I must sing as I cry
Like a dog for a child

Melting my heart
Is too easy for you
Like ice in the sun
