Outer Gate

if you knew

how much

i love you

___

you'd cry

i wish i'd fuckin told ya

a lot sooner than now

i wish i'd taken your hand in mine

held it to my heart

got down on my knee

and declared to you

my undying love

for

you

for

ever

you had too much on

to let me right in

as much as we needed the i to be

to set that moment free

to show you

to tell you

...

and i let you do that

but that doesn't make me the bad guy

if you conspired to murder me

and got caught before you actually could

i’d sell everything to pay for your defence

i don't think they'd put you away for good

and when you've finally done your time

repaid your debt to the state

i'll be waiting just like i said i would

on the other side of the outer gate

and i will take your hand in mine

i will hold it to my heart

i will got down on my knee

and i will declare to you

my undying love

for

you

for

ever
