Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well there's lies and betrayals Promises torn like silk, convenient amnesia And there's hurt and there's worse Anger and curses and the devil to deal ya All is forgiven, excused Her enunciation, her breath being used Like my bloodstream and Oxy are fused The way she says, 'I love you' You should have heard her way with words 'I love you' [Verse 2] Well therе's madness and not some cliche I say no It is rеal, and so you deal And day after day I pray, Lord keep the pain at bay So these cravings will heal It's not because she says it, no Could be a lie and probably so Meryl Streep should give it a go The way she says, 'I love you' Her spell is cast, dissolves the past 'I love you' [Bridge] Is she brilliant? There ain't no doubt Is she stunning? Knock down drag out Is she funny? She had me in tears But what's narcotic to my ears [Verse 3] Inconsistency torments me, what face today I'll see... That breathtaking face Vacant or here, static or clear This ghost that I chase And the vowels hug and kiss The consonants, they offer bliss Each syllable's soothing caress The way she says, ''I love you" The heart is cloaked, in opium smoke The way she says 'I love you'
