People often ask me
How I ward off my demons,
And I can never answer them.
It so happens the truth is that
I don't ward them off
When it is just easier
To embrace them.

Let me go to bed with you
Exactly as I used to do,
When I was young and I only knew love,
But I never knew pain
Before I knew that life would be this way.

Babe if I asked you then
Where you saw us in four years,
Would you be satisfied
With where we are now?

You said you still liked me
But that you didn't know if you could still trust me.

And you said that you were sorry
But you still got up and left me.

You said you didn't know what to say
When I only mentioned his name.

But he was just a friend,  
And you are still my love,

Never had I cheated,  
I'd never given up.

I know that trying to save you
May have cost me dearly.

But there is so much more to love
Than loving your looks clearly.

There is so much more to trust
Than only feeling lust.

And there is so much more to you
Than I ever thought before.

You've been broken,  you've been bruised,
You need me but I need you more.

I know that trust is earned,
And patience must be learned,

But dear, look at my face,
Your trust in me won't be misplaced.
