But you don't understand
I'd give you everything I have
I'd dedicate every piece of love in my body
Just to have the guts to tell you
That I am weak
And you are strong
I am the lowest of lows
And you are the highest of highs
You make the sunrise bright
And the sunset slower
You send shivers down my spine
And I can't breathe when you say my name
All I can do is take you in as you come to me in a blur of words
So I sit for hours in end trying to figure you out
But you are too beautiful for my understanding
And I am selfish and miserable
But I will never tire of this
You are rooted too deeply in my system
I couldn't get you out even if I tried
And it's been a privilege
To feel my name roll off your tongue and onto mine
And the taste has found a way to stay
Even if you didn't
