Description
i could change my ways
so you would change your own
but every day this apartment
will feel less like our home
just off-white walls, recycling,
books and remnants of our history
i can't be your first love
or your favorite cup of tea
but i hope to carve a spot within
your present and your dreams

because i love the way you say my name
when you think i'm asleep
and i love that you can't promise me
much, if anything
and i love the smile you say you hate
and i love the ways you make me break
and i love you should do,
since all i do is love you

you can share a bed with me
but you rarely share your words
so pardon me for wondering
if i shouldn't have caged this bird
i won't be held responsible
for all you can't do
and if i could change anything
it would all be for you
but the days are burning off to dust
i'll douse them with this drink
and your eyes are questioning
but all i can do is think

that i'd love to see you catch your breath
and i'd love to promise you "till death"
and i'd love to say that that's a lie
and i'd love to kiss you goodbye
and i'd love to watch you walk away
and i'd love to be able to say
that all i do is love you,
but i'd love you will do.
