lyrics

A LOVER'S DUEL

I told you that I loved you, one million times. I told you that I loved you and you said I must be out of my mind. You said I must be out of my mind.

You said, "Maybe you’re just crazy", i said, "Maybe I am". You said, "Please, please don’t ever you leave me". I said, "I would, when I can". I said I would, when I can. I said I would, if I even can.

We played love like a carnival game, and now is when you shoot the apple off my head. “Trust me my love,” you proclaimed. “And put the sheet over your eyes,” you said. “Trust me my love, and put the goddamn sheet over your head”. As a lover’s duel is nothing without one lover dead.

A lover’s duel is nothing, without one lover dead.

So, I carved your name, Elizabeth, so deeply down into my skin. A final act of declaration with no regards to who wins or knows. But now I am leaving, maybe you’ll realize you have to go. Maybe you’ll realize you have to go.

(Maybe I’m just too lazy to go crazy anymore. Maybe I’m just too lazy to go crazy anymore. Maybe I’m just too lazy to go crazy anymore.)
