Please don’t tell me you love me I know
You’re just tricking my soul
Tripping on things that I never knowed
You could stumble upon
Tie up your laces and run all your races
But hide all your traces, Im chasin you slow
Only to find, the things worth my time
Could never held, could never be sold
These are the words I meant to say
That crown of love you rest on your skull
Is losing its glow
And that face that you made when we did it real slow
Is burning a hole
Right through my mind, and in due time
If I’m lucky I’ll find, it will all corrode
Out of my head, to fill up the thread
You pulled so slow, to make it all fall
These are the words I meant to say
I know it’s true that I love you
You can blame this all on me if you really want to
I know it’s true that you love me too
You were just playin the hand you were dealt, like a pair of twos
These are the words I meant to say
