this creature i am

i plead with you
leave me this heart of mine
misunderstand me all you want
but leave this heart of mine
to do what she does
fine, fine i’ve learned the hard way
alone, i’m all alone
i swim the deepest seas
and drown curious men on a whim
this creature i am
will always be misunderstood
so i plead with you
leave me this wildish nature
life has tried to tame me
and made it all worse
i plead with you
leave this nymph alone
