A step ahead and two behind (Шаг вперёд и два назад)

Такое часто бывает в отношениях...манипуляции...там не может жить любовь.

A step ahead and two behind —
The favorite dance of you and me.
Sometimes my morning light you find,
Then like a stranger, you are free.

And when I'm cold, about to leave,
To walk right out and shut the door —
You call me back, make me believe
You need me near... just a little more.

I draw near — you slip into the shade.
I pull back — a daily sweet charade.
A fine scenario, your secret's plain to see...
But in these tides, there's no reciprocity.

When I am close, you freeze and hide
Your every thought from open view.
When I'm away, you soar with pride
And seek me out the whole day through.

It's not with me, it's with yourself you play,
But I'm the one who's changing the key.
You're losing so much more this way,
But it's the role you chose to be.

I draw near — you slip into the shade.
I pull back — a daily sweet charade.
A fine scenario, your secret's plain to see...
But in these tides, there's no reciprocity.

You're losing so much more this way,
But it's the role you chose to be.
