[Verse 1]

Because I loved you, I love you still

No need to dance around it, dance, you will

Because I loved you, I love you still

And I will, I will, I will

Because I knew you, I know you still

No matter how you've changed, and change, you will

Because I knew you, I know you still

And I will, I will, I will

[Chorus]

And though I ache from you

I know my will has no claim on what's true

[Verse 2]

Because you hurt me, you hurt me still

Though we move along, and move we will

Because I hurt you, I hurt you still

I will, I will, I will

[Chorus]

You cried when I cried

And you hate me now

You promised, you lied

And you hate me now

I've tried and I've tried

But I can't, somehow

I can't hate you, how

Could you hate me now?

[Outro]

Because I loved you, I love you still

Though it's painful, darling, at least I'm filled

Because I loved you, I love you still

And I will, I will, I will
