If you really love me
Don't try and change me
When you look in the mirror
It's not me you see
I don't want your choice as mine
No, that never crossed my mind
I want you just the way you are
'Cause boy, you're everything I'm not
And that's all I've ever wanted
If we ever come close
If we ever discover
How to hold on and keep our faith in each other
The difference between us
Will keep us together
If we open our eyes
Don't look any further
'Cause we've found all we'll ever need in each other
The difference between us
Will keep us together
I tell you our love is everlasting
You promise to give your best every morning
We don't have to compromise
Try to live each other's lives
We can be ourselves tonight
If we ever come close
If we ever discover
How to hold on and keep our faith in each other
The difference between us
Will keep us together
If we open our eyes
Don't look any further
'Cause we've found all we'll ever need in each other
The difference between us
Will keep us together
So don't forget
The words I've said
There's nothing there
I might regret
No, don't play games inside your head
What's going on inside your head?
If we ever come close
If we ever discover
How to hold on and keep our faith in each other
The difference between us
Will keep us together
Will keep you here, right by my side
If we ever come close
If we ever discover
How to hold on and keep our faith in each other
The difference between us
Will keep us together
If we open our eyes
Don't look any further
'Cause we've found all we'll ever need in each other
The difference between us
Will keep us together
Will keep you here, right by my siderush hour
and the day's dawning
the rain came
and pushed me under the awning
the puddles grew and threw themselves at me
with every passing car
i'm shielding my guitar
and there were some things that i
did not tell him
there were certain things
he did not need to know
and there were some days
when i did not love him
he didn't understand me
and i don't know why
i didn't go
he said change the channel
i've got problems of my own
i'm so sick of hearing about drugs
and aids
and people without homes
and i said, well,
i'd like to sympathize with that
but if you don't understand
then how can you act
i expected summer to be there in the morning
i woke to the alarm
but she was out of arms reach
sneaking out
on silent thighs
that were spent and sore
from the hot nights that came before
he said i looked for you
i don't know why
i said i was wearing black so you could
see me against the sky
take your big leather boots
and your buckles and your chains
put them on a downtown train
i expected he would be there in the morning
i awoke to the alarm
he was still in arm's reach
but his body was just a disguise
his mind had wandered off long ago
you see in his eyes
love isn't over when the sheets are stained
in my head there remains
so much left to be said
make me laugh, make me cry, enrage me
but just don't try to disengage me
