Romantic Comedy

it's been five years, we've had good and bad
the ivy grows thick in our dark backyard
when i shave in the morning you don't recognize me
i ask if you're still there and you answer 'truly'

don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
so don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'

you think you're so bad but you're just badly raised
you twisted and turned all the love that we made
i can not hold on and i can not let go
i was wasted at fifteen, never learned to go slow

don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
so don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'

you pick the curtains and i'll pick the sheets
silver anniversary will be the next time we meet
i loved you before and i'll love you til then
you're my foe and my brother and lover and friend

don't stay for the good stuff, there ain't none around
i'll love you and leave you and drive from this town
before i give you this ring there's one thing you should know
you have seven seconds before it's to late to go

so...!
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
you come for a week to love me then you up and leave next day
i never, ever want to see you til our wedding day
don't walk away then turn and say 'i love you anyway!'
don't walk away...
