Treasure
Though you may wonder
What means most to me
I couldn't tell you
For the truth makes me bleed
It's a savage thing, truth
With the lust and the greed
And those who dislike it
Aren't sure what they need
So don't be surprised
When I tell, if I lie
And don't be surprised
If I then start to cry
Don't take me in your arms
Just leave me alone
Because if you don't
I won't want to go home
Please don't speak to me
Don't ask for the truth
But the thing that I treasure
In this wide world is you.
