• I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose.
  Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose.

  Weep not for the memories.

  I would only be in your way
  So I'll go, but I know
  I'll think of you each step of the way
  And I will always love you
  I will always love you

  That's all I am taking with me
  Good-bye. Please don't cry

  What you need
  But I will always love you
  I will always love you.

• Is this the real life?
  Is this just fantasy?
  Caught in a landslide,
  No escape from reality.
  
  Open your eyes,
  Look up to the skies and see,
  I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
  Because I'm easy come, easy go,
  Little high, little low,
  Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

  Freddie Mercury
