A Love Song

I wanted to write you a love song But couldn't get the words just right Listened to Madness for inspiration Hoped it would give me some deeper insight Couldn't come close to it's accuracy Gently direct and absolute Can't tell the forest from the trees No better summary for you and me I got so lost in those eyes Tell me what will it take To set you free I wanted to write you a love song Hoped to say everything you wanted to hear Turned out every word came out wrong That's when it really became clear Sick of the forest sick of the trees No escape from you and me I got so sick of those fucking eyes I think this time it's more than enough for me It's our fiction Paper moons Pin holes in the curtain of night The only true madness Is keeping this fire alight Leaving the forest leaving the trees Walking away from everything It needs to end It needs to end
