I Love You Anyway - Dee Dee Sharp

The question was raised as my conscience fell A silly, little lie It didn't mean much, but it lingers still In the corners of my mind Still you call me to walk on the edge of this world To spread my dreams and fly But the future's so far My heart is so frail I think I'd rather stay inside But you love me anyway It's like nothing in life that I've ever known Yes, you love me anyway Oh Lord, how you love me How you love me It took more than my strength to simply be still To seek but never find All the reasons we change The reasons I doubt And why do loved ones have to die? But you love me anyway It's like nothing in life that I've ever known Yes, you love me anyway Oh Lord, how you love me I am the thorn in your crown But you love me anyway I am the sweat from your brow But you love me anyway I am the nail in your wrist But you love me anyway I am Judas' kiss But you love me anyway See now, I am the man who yelled out from the crowd For your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground Yes then, I turned away with the smile on my face With this sin in my heart tried to bury your grace And then alone in the night, I still called out for you So ashamed of my life, my life, my life But you love me anyway Oh, God how you love me Yes, you love me anyway It's like nothin' in life that I've ever known Yes, you love me anyway Oh Lord, how you love me You love me, yes, you love me Yes, you love me, yes, you love me How you love me How you love me How you love me

I gave up a long time ago Trying to find love TV told me it was like the movies But it never was And I couldn't beat it or join it So, I just avoided it Come what may Then you came And I wanna hold you in my arms I wanna let you break my heart I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay And I know you'll bring me to my knees I know you're way out of my league I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay But I want you anyway Now it's so self-betrayal of me I'm about to say all the things I swore I'd never say My heart's in my mind Drawing lines I can't erase And all of a sudden All that wasn't So beautifully is When we kiss And I wanna hold you in my arms I wanna let you break my heart I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay I know you'll bring me to my knees I know you're way out of my league I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay But I want you anyway The way the light hangs off you I never stood a chance See, you changed every plan I had with one glance And I wanna hold you in my arms I wanna let you break my heart I wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay I know you'll bring me to my knees I know you're way out of my league I know I can't afford the price I'm gonna pay But I want you anyway

If I'd a-known the way that this would end If I'd a-read the last page first If I'd a-had the strength to walk away If I'd a-known how this would hurt I would've loved you anyway I'd do it all the same Not a second I would change Not a touch that I would trade Had I known my heart would break I'd a-loved you anyway It's bittersweet to look back now At mem'ries withered on the vine But just to hold you close to me For a moment in time I would've loved you anyway I'd do it all the same Not a second I would change Not a touch that I would trade Had I known my heart would break I'd a-loved you anyway And even if I'd seen it coming You'd still've seen me running Straight into your arms I would've loved you anyway I'd do it all the same Not a second I would change Not a touch that I would trade Had I known my heart would break I would've loved you anyway I would've loved you anyway
