The last woman I need (EN)

Ещё одно танго из кабаре-мюзикла, который пишет Вера ( https://www.neizvestniy-geniy.ru/users/82189.html ). Мужская ария. Публикую с её разрешения.
Предвосхищая вопросы: она пишет на русском, я проказничаю с либретто на английском.

The last woman I need (Male aria from the feminist cabaret musical)

There are a lot of things I don't believe.
I don't believe that everything is fair.
I don't believe in unicorns or dreams.
I don't believe in promises.
And now I don't believe in you...

I wish you could move, I dream you are gone!
And the thought of me, on my own,
Is so sweet! I should have known,
That life with you could make me ill!
And now I hate it here! That's what I feel!

I wish that I could leave you,
And I hate that you wish it too!

It's damn hard to sleep
With the last woman you need!
When we barely even speak,
Except for what to eat!

We don't fight. It feels wrong to be mad,
But, for God's sake, what is correct?
You used to make me laugh, yet!
Before. So much. But now it's dead.
Now you don't make me even smile. I'm mad!

I wish that I could leave you,
And I hate that you wish it too!

It's damn hard to sleep
With the last woman you need!
When we barely even speak,
Except for what to eat!
