And darling won’t you smother all your demons, I’ll wait patiently
You ground your little teeth to dust, I held the pieces but you cut my knees
I remember sheets of cotton, window panes on sills gone rotten
If only I had know that, yeah if only I had known

And I am still in love
Yeah I am still in love

And sleep, I strip the sheets, because you’re more, yeah I smoke you clean
And dear, you naked thief, a bigger man would fucking leave
Smoking blacks and sleeping past noon, lowly backlit nights in classrooms
If only I had known that, yeah if only I had known

And I am still in love
Yeah I am still in love

Do you love me? Have I lost it? I don’t know
Would you throw me in the closet? I don’t know
Have you found him? I’ve forgotten who’s your man
You could throw me all to pieces with your plans
Yeah with your plans

And I am still in love
Yeah I am still in love
And I am still in love
Yeah I am still in love
