I do not understand,
why do you grant their demand?
I do not understand,
why do you not take my hand?
I do not understand,
what is so special about this man?
I do not understand,
what is the reason for this fallen strand?
I do not understand,
why do you want to be damned?
I WISH TO UNDERSTAND,
WHY DIDN'T YOU SIMPLY TAKE MY HAND?
I have tired and tired of their accusations,
I am so bitter, so bitter to their callous confrontations;
all because of you! You have ruined me!
You have shriveled me so I may not face society!
Now I must bear the claims of being a murderer,
even though your mistress was the one who was the plunderer;
now I must face these wretched fingers,
wondering why your ghostly figure lingers;
taking me by the arm as it brings me to the rope,
leaving me tempted: should I too, finally lose hope?
