if i gave you the sky

if i laid down my life

would you believe me then?



if i promised to change

if i carried the blame

would you believe me then?



could you see it like me

and believe what i see

could you listen, and remember that i love you

only, because i told you, because i told you so.



if you told me you lied

but i stayed true and tried

would you believe me then?



and if your beauty was gone

but my love lingered on

would you believe me then?



could you see it like me

and believe what i see

could you listen and remember that i love you

only,

because i told you, because i told you so.



you take the wheel for now

i'm too tired to drive this one home anyhow,

for now



and when you mention my name

let this one thing remain,

my love,

believe me now.
