How was I to guess
Your love was deadly to the touch
The howl of death
Unexpected, effervescent love

Only you have this effect
The beating drum in our chests
Over again, everything ends
Even lucky lovers leave their nests

Oh don’t you know
You broke into my home
My sacred place, you took up space
In my heart

You sank so quickly
In the quicksand trap I built for you
We sang songs in winter
Spring wisteria, autumn wilts

Summer came too fast
You left with no trace
Until you come back
Tell her it’s over, save me

Why don’t you know
My heart was my home
You opened up the door
And made everything yours

Don’t turn out the light
This love is ours
Done after tonight
Make it last forever

I hope you know
This home we built together
To show you my love for you
Is forevermore, for you
