Down in the grey cold cellars where we'd play, I saw you in a crowded room.
Soon we were twins. That's how it all begins, with promises that we made too soon.
I said I've yet to make a promise I can't break,
But darling you know what I really meant to say - I love you - I love you.
Darling you know what I really meant to say - I love you - I love you.
Young men would sing they hated everything. Converted, we would sing along.
Fist in the wall - why stand when you can crawl, with chemicals where they don't belong?
You still believed the vow, I said not me, not now,
But darling you know what I really meant to say. I love you. I love you.
Darling you know what I really meant to say - I love you - I love you.
Our parents swore in this dirty town we'd become addicts and who*es.
We laughed and then we did.
Now we had seen neglect become routine as visions of the future blurred.
Brought to your knees, felled by some new disease - just asking for a gentle word.
Speechless, yes I for once had no reply,
But darling you know what I really meant to say. Ooh - ooh. I love you.
Darling you know what I really meant to say - I love you - I love you.
