Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Narcissus
Narcissus
[Verse 2]
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
[Verse 3]
Narcissus

Narcissus
[Verse 4]
The saddest story ever told
The perfect glory, so all alone
And I could love you till kingdom come
I might not deserve you, but save you from
[Verse 5]
The saddest story ever told
Is loving only what you behold
In your own reflection when love is here
In all your pretension I hold you dear
[Verse 6]
The saddest story ever told
The narcissistic glory to be all alone
And I could show you, listen what I say
To feel real love is to give it away
[Verse 7]
A happy ending would never be
Narcissus dying
[Verse 8]
Narcissus

[Verse 9]
Rosebud
Narcissus, touch me, reach out your hand
Oh if you fall in love
With your own reflection like it was planned
You would die in love
Failing to feel or to understand
That just I can give
Narcissus, I the nymph
[Verse 10]
The Rosebud
Narcissus, see me turn into sand
If you fall in love
With your reflection you may be damned
But, darling, I could
Teach you to feel and to understand
Narcissus, my love
Thy love Echo
[Verse 11]
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
Narcissus
[Verse 12]
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
Narcissus
[Verse 13]
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
Narcissus
[Verse 14]
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
Narcissus
[Verse 15]
Be in love, be in love, be in love
Be in love, be in love, be in love with me
Narcissus
