i love you

i’m full of absurdities lately i know
but there’s something i’ve been meaning to say hold on
the words don’t come out as pure as the truth
when i tell you from the heart that i love you

hold on while i put my dogma away
and open my eyes to another day
how you perceive it makes me lose
the pettiness i have now i love you

when i see visions of this neon world
walk by me in veils of plastic hope
i pull out your picture and revel
in the lessons you teach me

cause it’s easy so easy to lose my sight
in a world of surfaces but it ain’t right
gotta stop and look within to see
who you are to me

when i take you for granted i have to step back
find myself get on the right track
reach my heart and offer anew
the beauty you touch me with i love you
