I won't pretend that i intend to stop living

i won't pretend i'm good at forgiving

but i can't hate you

although i have tried

mmmm

 

i still really really love you

love is stronger than pride

i still really really love you

mmmm

sitting here wasting my time

would be like

waiting for the sun to rise

it's all too clear things come and go

sitting here waiting for you

would be like waiting for winter

it's gonna be cold

there may even

be snow

 

i still really really love you

love is stronger than pride

i still really really love you

love is stronger

i still really love you

love is stronger than pride.
