Open Water
A Grave With No Name Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't believe that I said that I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

And I can't believe that I say that I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

And I can't believe that I'd say that I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you





I can't believe that I'd say that I love you
I'd love to, I'd love to, I'd love to, I'd love to
