I knew what the love songs meant
I could see the melody dance and sparkle
When I looked into your eyes
And it was perfect

Week One: I love him so
Fortunate and blatantly blessed
Soul mates united
Week One: I love him so

I knew what the love songs meant
They are becoming familiar now
I like to quote them as I talk to you
Even if you can’t understand

Week Two: He is magic
Fortunate and blatantly blessed
You cease to amaze me
Week Two: He is magic

I knew what the love songs meant
Even if the harmony begins to fade
I have hopes the music will come back
Optimistic and still singing

Week Three: His smile is wavering
But maybe it’s a bad week
He forgot to say I love you
Week Three: His smile is wavering

I knew what the love songs meant
I hear the music ring as my head hits the ground
Abuse and love songs, forever still
Broken and quietly humming

Week Four: He is angry
It is my fault I take all blame
I shouldn’t have looked at you like that
Week Four: He is angry

I now know what the broken hearted songs mean
Bruised and out of order
And the music has stopped playing altogether
Who knew it was so quiet 6 feet deep?
