Words Like These

I remember words you said to me
Words like darling, sweetheart baby
You threw them in the air like confetti
Words like these
I remember roses and sweets
French restaurants all the courting things
Waking to the sound of heart strings and words like these

I was thinking your love might be the kind love I've been looking for
What if one taste won't be enough surely I'll want more

And we were trading books like blows then
My poets for your dead English men
All I knew is I was taken down with such ease
Oh darling I am just a lady
Susceptible to gifts and flattery
All I knew is you had made me, weak at my knees

I was thinking your love might be that kind love I've been looking for
What if one taste won't be enough, surely I'll want more
And could you show me how real love could be or is it just talk
Talk is pretty but it won't give me all I hunger for

I remember words you said to me
Words like darling, I'm not sure, maybe
A broken bed beneath some heavy dreams of words like these
Heavy words, just heavy words, heavy words like these
