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"
So 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're 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 twist and turned all the love that we made
I cannot hold on
And I cannot 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're 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
The 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 lover and brother 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 the ring there's one thing you should know
You have seven seconds before it's too 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're 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
I never ever want to see you 'til our wedding day
Don't walk away
