Say You Love Me — kurt.riley+praxis

I am seated before you
September hasn’t turned
This lazy desire
I can feel the burn

The moon hangs above me
Lonely, in his sky
Please say you love me
Even if it’s a lie

Procuring the favour
Has never been a task
All crimson and ivory
You melt away the mask

He’s your white knight;
I wear the black hat
I’ve got a heart of gold,
But you don’t know that.
Would you care if you knew?
Would you care if you knew?

He waits in the parlour
Suspicion in his eyes
Please say you love me
Even if it’s a lie

Anyway
This thing never stays
Falling in and out
Of romance
I am just a trifle
A bullet with no rifle
But how I’d shoot for you
How I’d shoot for you

Anyway
This thing never stays
Falling in and out
Of romance
Oh, we’ve had our chances
Teenage romances
You never went away
Please don’t go away

Won’t you say
Say you love me?
It’s the only thing I want to hear you say
