about

I realize I'm biased, but this is the saddest song I've ever heard.

lyrics

What I want for you is
Joy, smiles, and laughter
Living in luxury
Happy ever after

And all I can promise you is
Tears and sadness
Giving in to weakness
Emptiness and madness

I am not what I want for you
No, I am not what I want for you

What I want for you is
Safety and security
Living without worry
Strength and stability

And all I can offer you is
Doubt and uncertainty
Giving in to misery
Constant ambiguity

And love
But love is not enough

I am not what I want for you
No, I am not what I want for you

So go
And live a happy life
Find the joy I cannot give you
And everything I want for you
So go
Please go
I'm letting go

I am not what I want for you
