I Told You I Love You

I told you I love you so you left
At least those were nice parting words
But when I think of you I must confess
If we meet again, it'd be for the best
If you bring your sharpest sword.

You and I walked along, learned some things
How to make toothpaste cookies, how to play hookie
How to eat with brushed-up freaks and them lying kings
We ate as the walls where shaking things free
And we knew where the other was without looking.

You said I love you first, ain't that funny.
We wouldn't see each other a long long time
You yelled it from your car, so I went running
Back to say it to you a first time
You didn't seem to mind then, I was lucky.

Then we saw each other season to season
Usually just for talking and eating food
As if there are any other reasons.
Those days were find but not as good
As the old day's meetings.

I sent you that message, a fail try
To let the boat we were on keep a-sail
Why would any one let a good thing die?
But I guess it just had to fail
And we parted like morning and the night sky.

I told you I love you so you left
At least those were nice parting words
But when I think of you I must confess
If we meet again, it'd be for the best
If you bring your sharpest sword.
