==Lyrics==
Michal:
I do not come to you reluctant or protesting
I'm not a trophy as so many are suggesting
I give myself because I choose to
Could walk out but I refuse to
I wanted you before your triumph
I wanted you in simple ways
But I'll accept you in your glory days
You're all I'll ever want
You have my innocence
David:
There's more than beauty here
There's more than innocence
She knows exactly what she's doing
I'll take her on her terms
She has the confidence
To stand aside and be amused by those pursuing
She already knows what's in my heart
Knows just how to set herself apart
She believes she knows it all
Who am I to contradict her?
She makes all the rules
Men are merely fools
If we think we run the game
Sheer perfection is to blame
But I'm so much in love
I need to make it last
Be in no hurry to impress her
I'd throw it all away
If I should move to fast
I'd never touch her heart, let alone possess her
She may say she wants me but I know
Words are only words, they come and go
She is all I hope I'll need
From this day until forever
Nothing more nor less
All my restlessness
All my selfishness and pride
Disappears as I decide
I shall never be denied
Sheer perfection at my side
