lyrics

I never had a reason to complain
I had a job and an apartment and my days were all the same
I worked, slept, never wept, tried my best to build myself a name
You can go about your duties with a smile upon your face
You can quietly and humbly complete each task with grace
You can swallow every shudder when you feel someone's embrace
but love will always win

I never met a woman quite like you
I gathered all my strength but didn't know what I should do
I felt each chamber of my heart prepare to make some room
You can ignore it when it calls you and pretend you're never home
You can say that you are happy and prefer to be alone
You can never tell a soul that you feel empty in your bones
but love will always win

I've said enough to love and broke it at the seams
I threw it in the closet and I told it not to scream
I ignored the cries at night like they were something in a dream
You can drag it through the market with a rope around its shins
You can hang it from an oak tree with a noose under its chin
You can starve it in the darkness til it's blind, pale and thin
but love will always win
