I know I've never had a heart 'til now
I know you never had so much shine in your eyes
I know you never intended to love me
But you will.
I know I've made so many mistakes
I know I caused all the tears you did spill
I know I've never been a good man
But I will.
Your eyes are the flames that push me along
Your love is the temple in which we belong
And I know we've never ruled this land
But we will, oh babe, we will.
I know my love isn't exactly a shrine
I know at one point you didn't care for my time
I know you never wanted to be mine
But you will.
I know my word isn't exactly foolproof
I know all my life I've avoided the truth
And I know I've never wanted to give it all up
But I will.
Your eyes are the flames that push me along
Your love is the temple in which we belong
And I know we've never ruled this land
But we will, oh babe, we will.
I know I'm a *******, a bleeding heart squirm
I know I'm a punk and I'll never learn
I know your love, I have not earned
But I will.
