"When I Say I Love You pt1"


When I say I love you

My mouth gets all slick

So slick to where a lie could slip out

But it comes out so smooth

So I must be telling the truth

My heart doesn’t get nervous anymore when I say it

Now knowing that people always lie

And they don’t share the same things

I can say it a million times

And it would be a numb feeling

Maybe not a feeling at all

But I can say it with a smile on my face

And you wouldn’t know the difference
