i don’t ever want to stop caring
about things I can’t ever fix
i don’t ever want to try and picture you
and ache as you wait, veiled, just out of view
I don’t want to be haunted by what might have been
I don’t want to be chased and ruined
forget the ambitions, the tours and the records
I’ll stay home with the children forever and ever
the fifteen minutes where that life is better
will wear away under friction and slow pleasure
I won’t ever stop loving you
and you won’t ever stop loving me
I tried to tell you but you didn’t believe me
it all means nothing without you next to me
maybe I’m crazy, and maybe I want to be
don’t look at me that way, babe, it’s like you didn’t know me
and I won’t ever stop loving you
whether or not you want me to
