I swear, i was meant for you,
Every bone, I will break for you
Take a knife, let you cut right through me
Look into my eyes I would die for you

Being a world-famous spy is pretty insulting to your profession [link]

لازم ادزها كل فترة

From the viewpoint of any normal living individual (in an evolutionary context), all of one's past survival attempts have succeeded, whereas most of one's past courtship attempts have failed. (If most of your courtship attempts have succeeded, you must be a very attractive and charming person who has been aiming too low)

The final toast

I drink to this ruined home,
To my evil life,
To our mutual loneliness,
And I drink to you—

To the lie from the lips that betrayed me,
To the deadly coldness of your eyes,
To the fact that the world is cruel and crude,
To the fact that God did not save us.
