The protagonist is telling his partner not to start a relationship with him because he has a weak heart and can't handle it. He compares her to a cat and himself to a dog, with her being in control. He also comments on how no one in the world gets what they want, but that's okay because it's beautiful. He ends by suggesting he doesn't want to live in this world anymore.
