The Cruelest Design

So here we are

A loving couple, so cliché

Your eyes are green

And free of fear

I see the lights

But there's also something else I see

Beyond this year

For you and me

You will say that you love me

You won't mean it sometimes

I will say that I'll help you

And then hardly even try

I'll say I can't live without you

Though I now that I can

We will be covered in silence

When love turns a command

A little hint

The story's old, and so are we

To tell the truth

This is what I see

You'll be looking at others, love

I know that you will

We're both bound to be moving

With a longing to kill

Every static emotion

It's the cruelest design

Still I'm proud to be saying

I am yours, and you are mine

And we'll do it together

It's the best we can do

And if I have something left, love

Then I'll give it to you

Please repeat that you love me

Even if it's a lie

Then tear down this apartment

It won't hold my heart tonight
