I Love You

I said I love you, don’t ever fucking question that,
that’s why we’ll probably never get along.
If I was better at knowin the right words to say,
I wouldn’t need to write these mother fucking songs.
Enough to place you to the brightest of lights,
to place you dangerously close to that sun,
More than enough to acknowledge the flaws you can’t ignore
and recognize the cause of what’s done is done,
More than enough to put my name behind my ideals,
and neglect my logic twice daily.
More than enough to keep me looking for my Lucy in the sky
when I remember how you used to call me baby,
I said I love you, don’t ever fucking question that,
that’s why we’ll probably never get along.
if I was better at knowin the right words to say,
I wouldn’t need to write these mother fucking songs.
Enough to look in my mirror with detest
for every tear you shed regardless of why you wept
Enough to curse any man who can’t appreciate the depth
of the ocean I swam till I ran out of breath.
I know a man who met a woman, don’t remember where,
big beautiful eyes and light brown hair,
she was from the burbs, he was from the city,
back when Franklin avenue was still pretty.
Two different worlds apart, but the world is just a small town-
we all know how people like to get down.
Make the love, paint the picture, write the song
