Analysis of Criticize
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
You're nothing
But do I have any right?
To criticize
When you're not in my sight?
You're so lame
But what right do I have?
To criticize
When you're not there
You're empty
Do I have right to say ?
To criticize
When you're out of my way?
You're such a devil
Is there any right in my words?
In this criticizing
When you're behind closed doors?
And I still love you
I know I have no right
While still criticizing
But it's something I can't fight
