Precious Little Love

She said it’s easy

And she is right

Because this is me and this is you

This is something we shouldn’t do.

And we won’t.

Cause we follow the rules

And live by the law

Though this something I never foresaw.

It’s wrapped up in glass

And glass doesn’t last

Not under the pressure of people.

It’s easily shattered

But that doesn’t matter

It’s only a little bit lethal.

We’ve got this precious little love

Tainted love

Gonna hold it in the palm of my hand

Our precious little love

Goddamned love

Something nobody else would understand

Precious little love

It’s our love

Something that never starts can never end

And I might put it on a shelf

Be with someone else

But at the end of the day

It’s still there

And if it never falls

Never breaks

Never makes one mistake

Then at the end of the day

No matter how far away

Our little globe of love will be there

And I will still care

We might not talk for a while

But soon as I see that smile

Our precious little love reappears

And I want to see you

But I shouldn’t be near you

You’re throwing away all my fears

But you’re not wiping away any tears

And I will save it for the future

But I can never be sure

That I will be where you are

Right now is right now

And no one knows anyhow

Whether love can be kept in a jar

Would we even make it that far

I’ll take this moment

And store it with the rest

That time when you pulled me

To put my head on your chest

And when we were dancing

And when we got lost

But my poor heart late at night

Has to turn those thoughts off

Maybe one day we’ll sing this duet

And no longer be like that guy and Juliet

And maybe it will work one day

But probably not

And yet I’ll keep this love right in this spot

I don’t like thinking

But I’m overthinking

Turn my mind off let my heart lead

Put it all away

And save it for another day

She said it’s easy

And she is wrong

Because this is you and this is me

And we don’t belong.
