Why is it when you say i love you

its after your hand has come down on

Why is it when you say i love you

Its after blood is pouring

Why is it when you say i love you

Its after the cops arrive...

What am I missing

In the beginning when you said

i love you it was before a kiss

In the beginning when you said

I love you it was while holding me

In the beginning when you said

i love you it was during a night of romance.....

What am I missing

Why is it when you say i love you

its after my tears are flowing

Why is it when you say i love you

It's after my ribs are broken

Why is it when you say i love you

It's after I've been lowered in my grave

Why is it when you say i love you

Its after you place a rose on my head stone.......

What did i miss?????
