Don’t say you love me and use it as a lever br A lever to use in a medieval way br Extracting confessions for sins not committed br Then applying more pressure so you get your way br When love is best served by judgment, sober br Weighing each link in the chain as we sway br Not promising the earth or even an acre br Not saying forever nor turning away. br br So, if you love someone its best to not say it br 'cause the words will come back to stab like a knife br When the tunnel of love like some ancient idea br Is kaput, finis for us, at least in this life br So forget all the passions and well-meant forever’s.
