tell the girl you love
that you'll be hers forever
tell her that you'll always
see beyond her scars
tell your girl her presence
is a timeless treasure
and time with her's more precious
than all else, by far

tell that girl you love
how it will be one day
when a promise weaves your lives
together with two rings
how your love will only flourish
as you two grow gray
and shower the world
hand in hand, with spread wings

tell the girl what she is
too naive to question
tell her what she's too
euphoric to deny
so when you're up and done
you'll have but one confession:
all you did was tell her lies.
