I love her.

Crying yourself to sleep at night,
It's not a fun business.

I don't want to say a word,
A word is bad.

A word is vile,
Especially against someone you love.

It hurts to play,
It hurts to watch.

I don't want to get that box,
The silver with ends of red,

Rivers and blossoms,
Love and hate.

I love her,
I love her.

I love her, don't I?
That's why I won't say a word.

I love her,
I do so.

I won't speak badly,
Not a whisper.

I love her,
I love her.

Not a trigger, not a trigger.
I promise.

She is good,
She is precious.

She is my unicorn.
