If I'm Not in Love [Double Triolet]

Every time we meet, these questions are in my mind --
If I'm not in love with you, why am I still fooling myself?
How did we last for so long, how could I be so blind?
Every time we meet, these questions are in my mind --
How can I be with you if you make me feel so confined?
If I don't want to hurt you, does that mean I should hurt myself?
Every time we meet, these questions are in my mind --
If I'm not in love with you, why am I still fooling myself?

Every time we meet, I am overcome with sadness for you,
For I no longer believe our destinies are intertwined.
Our love isn't mutual; your heart would break if you knew.
Every time we meet, I am overcome with sadness for you.
You still want me, even though I am ready for someone new.
I don't know how you will deal when I leave you behind.
Every time we meet, I am overcome with sadness for you,
For I no longer believe our destinies are intertwined.
