Unaffectionate Mistress Songtext
von Cygnets

You give me love, always at a distance
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I get nowhere with your heart of resistance
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I give it up, and you give me indifference
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I carry on through this hopeless existence
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress now

The give and the take, it′s one and the same
You put it off until something breaks
Before it can start, I feel it depart
That moment of having you on my arm
I'm sure that it′d be, the swallow in me
Thinking of something that I can't see
We've been here a while, and I make you smile
But if you want love, you don′t feel mine


You give me love, always at a distance
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I get nowhere with your heart of resistance
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I give it up, and you give me indifference
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I carry on through this hopeless existence
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress now

In my leap of faith, you want to escape
You just pass it off like it′s something vague
Compared to the start, we're further apart
That feeling of sinking is all in my heart
So what could it be you wanted in me?
It must have been something that I can′t see
I thought that you might feel it inside
But you'll never know what it feels like

You give me love, always at a distance
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I get nowhere with your heart of resistance
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I give it up, and you give me indifference
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress
I carry on through this hopeless existence
You wanna be my unaffectionate mistress now

And I thought we were searching for
This hopeless thing that we can′t find
I can only think why did I, did I, did I, did I?


Then finally when you're blind and you′re listless
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress
You show me love, but you feel my resistance
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress
Your open arms have been met with disinterest
I′m gonna be your unaffectionate mistress

You realize it′s too late and you've missed this
I′m gonna be your unaffectionate mistress
You give me love, and I give you resistance
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress
You get nowhere, now despite your persistence
I′m gonna be your unaffectionate mistress
You feel my touch, and it's trembling indifference
I′m gonna be your unaffectionate mistress
The years will haunt you, someday you will miss this
I'm gonna be your unaffectionate mistress now

Now
