you wore the clothes i wanted to see you in
and so i kissed you on the lips
let you smell the mint that
my stick of gum had left
on my breathe

the world approved of our relationship
i loved you so i took you to the movies
i paid for your ticket
and i held your hand.
i wanted more of you
but the world wouldn't let me take it

i didn't know what i wanted
you gave me what i asked for
what is love
what was our love

i wanted more of you
i was unsure which parts
you could do without
i didnt want pieces
i wanted you all
i wanted to steal you from them;
the world.
they were my enemy.
you were mine alone.
