Agony
Chris Pine & Billy M Lyrics

Did I abuse her
Did I mistreat her or show her a lack of respect?

Or show her disdain?
Or did I make her feel unworthy of my affection?

Why does she run from me?
Why does she avoid me or distance herself?

If I should lose her,
If I were to lose her from my life,

How shall I regain
How could I rebuild or restore

The heart she has won from me?
The love and affection she has gained from me?

Agony!
Intense emotional pain and suffering

Beyond power of speech,
So intense that words cannot accurately describe it

When the one thing you want
When the thing you desire most

Is the only thing out of your reach.
Is something that you cannot attain or achieve.

High in her tower,
Up in a tall building or structure

She sits by the hour,
She spends time there for extended periods

Maintaining her hair.
Taking care of her hair or grooming herself

Blithe and becoming and frequently humming
Happy and pleasant, while often singing to herself

A lighthearted air:
A carefree and optimistic demeanor

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-
A vocalization to indicate humming or singing

Oh, the torture they teach!
Oh, the lessons and experiences that cause significant suffering

What's as intriguing-
What is as fascinating or captivating

Or half so fatiguing-
Or as exhausting and depleting

As what's out of reach?
As something that is unattainable or unachievable.

Am I not sensitive,
Am I not perceptive or understanding?

Clever,
Intelligent and inventive

Well-mannered,
Polite and courteous

Considerate,
Thoughtful and attentive to the feelings of others

Passionate,
Excited and ardent

Charming,
Attractive and charismatic

As kind as I'm handsome
Equally humble and modest to how good looking I am

And heir to a throne?
And next in line to rule a kingdom?

You are everything maidens could wish for!
You are the ideal partner that many women desire!

Then why no-?
Then why won't she give me a chance or consider me?

Do I know?
Do I have the answer or understanding?

The girl must be mad!
She must be irrational or insane to not choose me!

You know nothing of madness
You are unaware of the true meaning of insanity and irrational behavior.

Till you're climbing her hair
Until you try to attain the unattainable

And you see her up there
And you realize she is far from your reach

As you're nearing her,
As you move closer to her location

All the while hearing her:
As you continue to listen to her voice and humming

Misery!
Painful and unbearable suffering

Woe!
Intense grief and sadness

Though it's different for each.
Although everyone experiences it differently.

Always ten steps behind-
Always lagging behind or falling short

Always ten feet below-
Always lower or inferior

And she's just out of reach.
And she's unattainable or unachievable.

Agony
Intense emotional pain and suffering

That can cut like a knife!
That can cause deep emotional wounds and damage.

I must have her to wife.
I must make her my lifelong partner.
