I wish I could freeze time here right now,
‘Cause what you’re about to say,
Will ruin,
Everything.

I don’t have much, except my ignorance.
My,
Blissful,
Ignorance.
And really all I need is your pretence.
So keep it that way,
Please keep it that way.

It’s so easy for you to do,
One little word and I’m in love with you.

Just look at the water, like a blue silk sheet,
But you don’t see it; you’re looking at your feet.
If you noticed how beautiful everything is now,
You’d want to keep it that way too.

So get ready to shatter me,
I can already feel my grip on happiness coming loose.
I don’t know what the hell you want,
But I offer love.

You slip the words out your mouth so quickly,
So I almost don’t hear.
But I do.
And every word,
Seems to last so long.
And every word,
Hurts me like a punch.

But I get up again.
Shaky and bruised,
I run back to you,
Like a dog fetching a ball.
And I imagine you to say “that’s quite an appropriate comparison, for you are a b*tch”.

But you know I’ll come.
You can depend on me to be depending.
Because you’re all I need to be happy.

And it’s so easy for you to do,
‘Cause one little word and I’m in love with you.
