With fingernails you stake your claim
Upon my chest you scratch your name
And I won't scream, no, and I won't cry out
Little comforts done without
We would rise as the moon made way
Across the fields of life we made
Down upon your jaws I lay
My head oh so helplessly
And I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you anyway
I can't give it up
I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you any way I can
Drop the blade and come to bed
I won't take back the things I said
I can't undo the things I've done
Or be sorry for what I've become
For I am only what you made me
By your loving brutality
Kinder hands than the ones you've shown
Could have molded a kinder man
But I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you anyway
I can't give it up
I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you any way I can
The dark descends now upon my days
The final act in your savage play
Your fingers wrapped round my throat so tight
I will go down with death tonight
Through the mask I can see your eyes
And there are no tears falling
Will they come when you see my bones
And remember how you loved them?
Well, I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you anyway
I can't give it up
I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you any way I can
And I can't give it up
I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you any way I can
And I can't give it up
I'm gonna love you anyway
I'm gonna love you any way I can
