Sugar Sweet Words

Those Words Aren't Mine To Own

I stayed up all night listening to your sugar-sweet words,

The kind you find written on candy,

The kind that makes candy-floss hearts in the sky,

Tell me something;

Were you thinking of the woman you loved

While raining honey on me?

Did you respect my marriage,

When you tried luring me in with your words?

I can't imagine what you are thinking,

And love is a beautiful thing,

But love can be dangerous,

When you rain sugar-sweet words on the wrong woman,

Please remember,

My friend;

I love you too,

But not in the same way;

Love means different things,

And it comes with boundaries,

I can offer you friendship,

But darling,

Please remember,

Sugar-sweet words?

Those words aren't mine to own.
