With fingernails you stake your claim Upon my chest you scratch your name And I won't scream, no, and I won't cry out Little comforts done without We would rise as the moon made way Across the fields of life we made Down upon your jaws I lay My head oh so helplessly And I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you anyway I can't give it up I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you any way I can Drop the blade and come to bed I won't take back the things I said I can't undo the things I've done Or be sorry for what I've become For I am only what you made me By your loving brutality Kinder hands than the ones you've shown Could have molded a kinder man But I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you anyway I can't give it up I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you any way I can The dark descends now upon my days The final act in your savage play Your fingers wrapped round my throat so tight I will go down with death tonight Through the mask I can see your eyes And there are no tears falling Will they come when you see my bones And remember how you loved them? Well, I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you anyway I can't give it up I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you any way I can And I can't give it up I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you any way I can And I can't give it up I'm gonna love you anyway I'm gonna love you any way I can
