Does he taste every kiss,
savor every word
the way I would?

When he holds you in his arms
does he never let go
the way I would?

I would kill, I would conquer
Defend in your honor
for your heart
With a face like yours angel
Princess of a fable
You’ll start some wars

Life’s too short
for someone who doesn’t appreciate
Life’s too long
for someone who doesn’t think
telling he loves you is not enough
So he sends you flowers
surprises you with trips
and makes love to you
like it’s your last day alive

Life’s too short

Does he smell your hair,
remember how you taste
the way I would?

When he kisses on your legs,
does it take away the pain
the way I would?

I would maim, I would battle
Taste every poison
to make sure you’re safe
I would make a promise to your father
to take care of his daughter
You’ll always be safe

Life’s too short
for someone who doesn’t appreciate
Life’s too long
for someone who doesn’t think
telling you he loves you is not enough
so he stands on tables
in rooms full of people
to tell you he loves you
Life’s too short
