Head-over-heels...



Yes I will.
(didn't believe it 'til I said it)
No, I will.
(when you doubt me, more's my drive)
Then I would die.
(how else would you have me swear it?)
Look – I'm alive.
(please, let that be, a hope you keep inside)
Will you always?
(I only ask you for I doubt it)
But then you won't.
(how could he know that, enough to say?)
If that's a lie?
(everyone's perfect in their future)
And if you don't?
(no one's perfect come the day)

That's the most hateful thing you've asked me.
(she won't like this)
Love's a partnership, a swear.
(but then she'll see)
There's never really been a question.
(I believe in her misdirection)
So, then what keeps me standing here?
(her brimstone bright fallibility)
Do you love me?
(I feel so weak when I ask the question)
Then you don't?
(he's never made me feel alone)
Why won't you answer me?
(but I'm dizzy on his soft-toned cryptics)
You're such an asshole.
(I shouldn't say that – we're in love)
