the day i said i loved you

now that you’ve heard my heart speak (morning light)
now that you’ve worn my t-shirt (purest white)
now that we’ve had breakfast together
walked hand in hand
below mountains
untethered

my heart reaches out to you
along an abandoned telegraph line
through the lime green of the fresh trees...



i told the truth and then i lied
i smiled as proof and then i sighed
the day i said...
the day i said i loved you

now that you’ve heard my heart break (deepest night)
now that you’ve worn his t-shirt (in the morning light)
now that you’ve had breakfast together
walked hand in hand
white garments
untethered

my heart screeches out to you
a lost eagle through the alpine
those lush forests swallow me whole
(your dark moist secrets)

i told the truth and then i lied
i smiled as proof and then i sighed
the day i said...
the day i said i loved you

and how do you think i feel when he’s making you?
and what do you think is real when he’s faking you?
honey, how do you?
honey, how do you think i feel?

i told the truth and then i lied
i smiled as proof and then i sighed
the day i said...
the day i said i loved you
i told the truth and then i lied
i smiled as proof and then i cried
the day i said...
the day i said i loved you
