i want you anyway

i gave up a long time ago

trying to find love

tv told me it was like the movies

but it never was

i couldn't beat it or join it

so i just avoided it

come what may

then you came

and i wanna hold you in my arms

i wanna let you break my heart

i wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

and i know you'll bring me to my knees

i know you're way out of my league

i know i can't afford the price i'm gonna pay

but i want you anyway

it's so self-betrayal of me

i'm about to say all the things

swore i'd never say

but my heart's in my mind

drawing lines i can't erase

and all of a sudden

all that wasn't

so beautifully is

when we kiss

and i wanna hold you in my arms

i wanna let you break my heart

i wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

and i know you'll bring me to my knees

i know you're way out of my league

i know i can't afford the price i'm gonna pay

but i want you anyway

the way the light hangs off you

i never stood a chance

see you changed every plan i had with one glance

and i wanna hold you in my arms

i wanna let you break my heart

i wanna feel the way it feels to make you stay

and i know you'll bring me to my knees

i know you're way out of my league

i know i can't afford the price i'm gonna pay

but i want you anyway
