[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
