You would always answer "as you wish"
And I didn't see it as a precious gift
Until I understood how rare true love is
My life was simple
Till seeing you through another’s wanting eyes
Made me realize what I'd been missing
Every moment my love grew a thousand times
No room in my body for anything but you
My knees shake with blind affection
I yearn for a chance to prove it
Just whisper that I might win your love
Anything you ask of me
I already want it too
Anything I don't know now
I will learn for you, for you
You would always answer "as you wish"
And I didn’t see it as a precious gift
Until I understood how rare true love is
There were "strong wills" before "agency"
My beauty all my own though unknown to me
Until it caught the eye of the future king
Who saw me as yet another prey-thing
And it would have been so easy
To refuse if you still lived
But I'd stopped eating, stopped trying
And lost every care I could give
To exalt is to dehumanize
To turn a woman into nothing but a prize
So my beauty was a double-edged knife
And I still recalled those words you said
But nothing ever would be as I wished again
So I might as well reign as the living dead
But I should have known death couldn't keep true love away
I'll never make that mistake again
Anything you ask of me
I already want it too
Anything I don't know now
I will gladly learn for you
And now you always answer "as you wish"
I cherish it as the most precious gift
I understand how rare true love is
Now you always answer "as you wish"
I cherish it as the most precious gift
We understand how rare true love is
