This one makes my teeth ache, it's so pretty and sugar-coated; although I have to admit to wondering if it's maybe a little tongue-in-cheek. Maybe just a little.

A different facet here than the album's earlier song, "The Longing" - with the "I'd die for you" line, this one makes the confession that the singer would rather not have to. Although the subject of the song is apparently oblivious anyway.
