[Verse 1]
I'm not quite sure what to do
Neither I'm sure how to tell you
Every time you come to me
I feel like I'm further from you
Your restraint has been passed on
And will be neutralized
Your restraint has been passed on
[Verse 2]
It doesn't matter how hard I try
The color of the gold matters little
In the race to your affection
The medal is always bronze
I'm an orphan of your tenderness
[Verse 3]
It truly jumps out at me
When you appear straight and rigid
How little can I do to make you change?
Your restraint has been passed on
And will be neutralized
Your restraint has been passed on
[Verse 4]
If you knew how to hug me
Maybe a kiss once in a while
And to the imperfect corners
Wth less rigor to aim
Who would I be?
I'm an orphan of your tenderness
[Bridge]
When it's just you and me
And you fall asleep beside me
An ocean separates us
But you don't know anything
The song that gets repeated
The sadness that mutes me
Your love has been received
Despite what you never say
Your love has been received
Despite what you never say
