Imprisoned Bird

I'm a bird that's imprisoned by you.
I have forgotten how far the skies are.
If I leave the little castle that you gave me,
I don't know who else I can rely on.
 
I'm a bird that's imprisoned by you.
I get less and less love from you.
As your smile is burning in someone else's eyes,
I can't even get an embrace.
 
I'm like a shadow that's not necessary to you.
With a cold stare I watch you tell your lies.
My obsession for you doesn't fit in this dazzling city.
What is it that attracts you so much that makes you so impudent?
 
I'm like a shadow that is not necessary to you.
With solitude I share my sadness.
I'm at my wits' end to turn our love around.
On boring days like this,
tears are my only luxury.

Very clear translation! Thank you!

One word that isn't quite idiomatic:
My obsession about you > My obsession for you

I have adjusted my French translation to match this.
