Tied up in you
I’ve got you buried in me deep
Don’t you see I’m yours to keep?
You shaved away my black sheep wool
Made me into a man who's almost whole
Oh girl, there are things I need to say
You’re the one I’ll think about when I slip away
If I can be as good to you as you are to me
Promise that rainbow smile will be the last thing I ever see
Tied down for you
Tied up in you
Gotta, gotta have you
Any way I can get you
Gotta, gotta have you
My dream come true
Never guessed home was right where I stand
In the arms of my sweetest friend
The bloom that never ever fades
Not even on the darkest days
I’m hoping I can give you more
’Cause I’m falling for the girl next door
Mmm, ’cause I’ve fallen for my girl next door
Fallen for you
My dream come true
If I didn’t already hate Adam, I would have hated him then. For writing this song for me and then singing it in front of my boss while I was working. For looking at me as he sang those words, those spectacularly beautiful words.
I loved him too. I loved him a lot more than I hated him. I could’ve strangled him, but I still loved him.
All I could do was try to breathe and do my job. I swiped moisture from the corner of my eye and ducked my head to hide my reaction from Adam’s unrelenting gaze.
“That was hella sweet,” Malik remarked.
“It was.”
He grinned at me. “I need to up my game. Don’t tell my girl about this.”
