Pietro Crespi

Could you love someone enough
after all you've had and you've lost?
It's a simple question,
and I'm only asking 'cause I don't want to die alone.

Could you love someone completely?
And yes, by someone I mean me,
spoiled sick like milk you let sit too long.
It's a simple question.

As I lie awake
waiting for you to wake beside me,
you can almost hear the sad waltzes
of Pietro Crespi.

Could you love someone
who does whatever he wants to do,
whenever I want to?
It's a simple question,
and I'm only asking 'cause I don't want to die alone.
