• Just give up on me, oh Darling Dear
    Let me trouble you no more
    You waste your breath on me, oh Darling Dear
    My wounds too deep for you to heal,
    My sorrows too much for you to bear,
    For it’s too late for me now,
    I have fallen far too down.

    Leave me be, oh Darling Dear
    Let me lie here with no fear
    I do not wish for you to worry,
    So please dry your tears
    It’s not worth the time and effort,
    So please leave me here
    Let me lie with my lonesome self
    Let me sit on the shelf
    Let the dust gather in,
    So my dying can begin.

    Just give up on me, oh Darling Dear
    Let me no longer trouble your ears
    You waste your breath on me, oh Darling Dear
    For my wounds are too deep for you to heal,
    For my sorrows are too much for you to bear,
    Just let me lay here with no fear
    You’ve wasted your efforts on me, Darling Dear

    It’s far too late,
    I have lost that chance for escape,
    So I’ll wait for the dust to gather in,
    Then I’ll be ready when my dying can begin.
