I'm not quite sure how else to say it
Not sure I've tried
Cause all the truth in the words spoken
My actions denied

You're a little dangerous,
A little cancerous- isn't everything 
I took your ring;
It turned my finger green.
If it ain't real to anybody else
It's real to me.

You give me your love
And your love it gives me hell
I took it to the water
I took it to the well
Wishing that we passed the test of time,
But knowing that we failed.

I wish love never went stale
That it made through the rain
And then it made it through the hale
And in the face of all the greatest storms 
I wish that love prevailed
All it did was perish
All it did was bail.

Well I don't know if I could bare it
If you bared just fine
Oh no, this loss I'm gonna share it.
Whats yours is mine

Fate intercepted all our hopes
And carried em' cross the line
We- well we always had our goals
But if we were a team
Then that team was blind
Smart enough to know the odds
but, dumb enough to try

I wish love never went stale
That it made through the rain
And then it made it through the hale
And in the face of all the greatest storms 
I wish that love prevailed
All it did was perish
All it did was bail.

Love with us was frail
Like paper set to sail
I know that you could tell

I wish love never did fail
That we'd ride or die... or improvise
but oh that ship has sailed
And of all that to the storm fell
I wish love lived to tell the tale
But all it did was perish 
All it did was...
