Capable

Bear Quartet · Gay Icon [2001]

With a high tolerance

for sad events

You were the one

I used to hurt someone else

I'm the bystander

The untrustworthy hand

Now you see me

in everything you can't stand



How many times

must I repeat this:

I am capable

Capable to love, I am

Capable to give and to receive

I am capable

Capable, I'm capable

I'm capable to love I am

Capable of cruelty but I try

Not to be cruel



A decade so lonely

Only death wishes grew

If you think it's a joke

Or worse a lie then fuck you

Guess that I needed

To say it out loud

That's how it was

The wrong language and time



I want to be held

And to hold back now

I am capable to love

Capable to love, I am

Capable to give and to receive

Capable

Capable, I'm capable

Capable to love, I am

Capable of cruelty but I try

Not to be cruel



You can't take my dreams I repeat:

I am capable of love

capable to love I am

capable to give and to receive

I'm capable

capable, I'm capable

capable to love I am

capable of cruelty but I try

not to be cruel

I am capable of love

capable of love I am

capable to give and to receive

I'm capable

capable, I'm capable

capable to love I am

capable to give an to receive I am
