I'm in "Love"
I'm in love with the way that you do not see
I'm in love with the way that you leave early
I'm in love with the way that you do not feel-
I'm in love with you, you pretty animal.

I'm in love with the way you do not hear
I'm in love with the way that you won't come near.
I'm in love with your hair it's so very real-
I'm in love with you, you pretty imbecile.

I'm in love with you but I don't know how
To get through to you, except by acting proud
I'm in love with you and I'm in a mess
I'm flying low and fast and I'm breaking into bits.

I'm in love with the way that you ignore me
I'm in love with the way that you say "Who's he?"
I'm in love with you when you pretend I'm dead-
I'm in love with you and your maidenhead

I'm in love with the way that you stab my back
I'm in lve with you when you're in stukka-black
And I hear that you say nothings permanent-
Well, nor are you, you pretty ornament.
