How do you know you're in love?

I know it makes you angry when I stare,

but I've never been in the presence of someone so beautiful,

and so rare

Everything that we've gone through

Everything that we shared

Is still at the forefront of my mind

Living there

You ask me why you pick the wrong ones?

The one time you decided not to run

How do you know you're in love

When you're always drunk?

Or high,

or all of the above?

I know it makes you angry when I stare,

but I've never been in the presence of someone so beautiful,

and so rare

Everything that we've gone through

Everything that we shared

Is still at the forefront of my mind

Living there

You ask me why you pick the wrong ones?

The one time you decided not to run

How do you know you're in love

When you're always drunk?

Or high,

or all of the above?
