lyrics

It was the first time that I told you that I loved you
On that warm night, as September took us further to this
Confusing romance. This confusing love.

So I flew all night just to tell you that I loved you
But you won’t cry ‘cause you think it makes you weaker
And it’s destroying my plans and devouring us.
I can’t wait forever.

I’m losing sleep, while you’re off and spending time with him.
But I guarantee I’ll find a way to make this right.
You’re losing me. And in time I know you’ll find regret.
‘Cause I guarantee, I’ll find a way to get me right.

As I’m writing, accusations that you’ve laid should not come lightly.
So be careful what you wish for baby.
I’m finding answers. And I came to this.
So what you told me; that in summer’s sun we would salvage it.
It was wholly, a diversion from your main pursuit.
You’re an illuding lover, an illusionist.
I can’t wait forever.

I’m losing sleep, while you’re off and spending time with him.
But I guarantee I’ll find a way to make this right.
You’re losing me. And in time I know you’ll find regret.
‘Cause I guarantee, I’ll find a way to get me right.
