Lyrics

You’d rather not hear it now?
I want you to hear it.
We never need to say anything
to each other when we’re together.
I’m saying this now
for the time when we won’t be together.
for all the years we’ll have to wait.
I love you, Dominique.

You must learn
not to be afraid of the world.
I must let you learn it.
I can’t help you.
You must find your own way.
When you have,
you’ll come back to me.
I’ll wait for you

I won’t try to stop you.
I love you, Dominique.
As selfishly as the fact that I exist.
As selfishly as my lungs breathe air.

This is the only way you can wish to be loved.
This is the only way I can want you to love me.
To say ’I love you’
one must know first how to say the ’I.’

The kind of surrender I could have from you now
would give me nothing but an empty hulk.
If you married me now,
I would become your whole existence.

If I demanded it, I’d destroy you.
That’s why I won’t stop you.
I’ll let you go to your husband.
I don’t know how I’ll live through tonight,
but I will.

You must learn
not to be afraid of the world.
I must let you learn it.
I can’t help you.
You must find your own way.
When you have,
you’ll come back to me.
I’ll wait for you

I won’t try to stop you.
I love you, Dominique.
As selfishly as the fact that I exist.
As selfishly as my lungs breathe air.

This is the only way you can wish to be loved.
This is the only way I can want you to love me.
To say ’I love you’
one must know first how to say the ’I.’

I want you whole,
as I am,
as you’ll remain
in the battle you’ve chosen.
A battle is never selfless.
They won’t destroy me, Dominique.
And they won’t destroy you.
You’ll win, because you’ve chosen
the hardest way of fighting
for your freedom from the world.
I’ll wait for you. I love you.

[chorus]
I won’t try to stop you.
I love you, Dominique.
I’ve given you, not my sacrifice or my pity,
but my ego and my naked need.

This is the only way you can wish to be loved.
This is the only way I can want you to love me.
To say ’I love you’
one must know first how to say the ’I.’

They won’t destroy me, Dominique.
And they won’t destroy you.
you’ll come back to me.
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you.
I love you.
