What have you done?
♫ Within Temptation Lyrics

Would you mind if I hurt you?
Asking permission to harm the person I love because I have no other choice.

Understand that I need to
Explaining that the harm is necessary due to unavoidable circumstances.

Wish that I had other choices
Expressing regret that there are no alternatives to hurting the loved one.

Than to harm the one I love
Clarifying that the harm is not desired, but necessary.

What have you done now?
Repeating the question to emphasize the consequences of the other's actions.

I know I'd better stop trying
Acknowledging that further efforts to prevent harm are futile.

You know that there's no denying
Acknowledging that the other party also recognizes the helplessness of the situation.

I won't show mercy on you now
Expressing a lack of forgiveness or compassion for the other's actions.

I know I should stop believing
Recognizing the need to let go of hope for a different outcome.

I know there's no retrieving
Admitting that the relationship cannot return to its previous state.

It's over now, what have you done?
Realizing that the actions taken resulted in the end of the relationship.

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
Acknowledging that the other was initially seen as a perfect match.

But now you are slipping away
Observing that the other is slowly leaving or distancing themselves.

Why, why does fate make us suffer?
Questioning the reasons behind the pain being experienced.

There's a curse between us, between me and you
Attributing the negative outcome to a perceived supernatural force or karmic fate.

Would you mind if I killed you?
Asking permission to take the harm to a more extreme level.

Would you mind if I tried to?
Asking for allowance to attempt the extreme action.

'Cause you have
Explaining the justification for the extreme thought.

Turned into my worst enemy
Describing the other as having become the most harmful person in one's life.

You carry hate that I don't feel
Recognizing that the other has negative emotions that are not shared by oneself.

I will not fall, won't let it go
Committing to not allowing oneself to succumb to the harmful actions of the other.

We will be free when it ends
Believing that the end of the relationship will bring liberation from the pain.
