I thought you knew you were mine The other night, we sealed our fate in the bed we made Couldn't read your mind All laid out; a picture of you On your bed there was a spread of all you've read The poison of truth All the movies and CDs stare at me A wall of your life And now you're telling me that what you need Is so very different from what I am And now you will not stay No matter if I should say That when I slept breathing the nape of your neck It was the only time I felt awake All your tears are sweet like saline They streak your face but can't displace all your grace You float like a queen All the words we have heard are so absurb But I think you believe just a bit In love's receipe, there's no guarantee and the warranty Expires as soon as you stray And now you will not stay No matter if I should say That I hoped you'd be the one I would hold As we laid and watched each other grow old Now my love will be buried untold Because I can't let it go
