it`s been five years, we`ve had good and bad
the ivy grows thick in our dark backyard
when i shave in the morning you don`t recognize me
i ask if you`re still there and you answer `truly`
don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
so don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
you think you`re so bad but you`re just badly raised
you twisted and turned all the love that we made
i can not hold on and i can not let go
i was wasted at fifteen, never learned to go slow
don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
so don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
you pick the curtains and i`ll pick the sheets
silver anniversary will be the next time we meet
i loved you before and i`ll love you til then
you`re my foe and my brother and lover and friend
don`t stay for the good stuff, there ain`t none around
i`ll love you and leave you and drive from this town
before i give you this ring there`s one thing you should know
you have seven seconds before it`s to late to go
so...!
don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
don`t walk away then turn and say `i love you anyway!`
don`t walk away...
