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.
