you can keep throwing stones

keep on saying mean things

keep saying it didn't matter

that it was never your dream

but i remember your eyes

and your gentle sweet touch

and how you said that you prayed for this

and that it mattered so much

you say it's my fault

it's all my rage and anger

well i'm willing to cop

but i still say i'm your mirror

'cause we see in each other

what we want to see in ourselves

we start out seeing the good stuff

and then we return it to hell

so now you've driven me away

with all your brutal defenses

but you know love's stronger than that

and so love's been living for centuries

and though you're not the one here with me baby

i'm gonna keep on loving anyway

with or without you

cause it's what we're here for

and it's what i still believe in

they say that we teach

what we need to learn

what i need is forgiveness for you

or for me i'm not sure

but i guess it don't matter

when it comes to love

be it you me or anyone

we're just trying to get back to god

so now you've driven me away

with all your brutal defenses

but you know love's stronger than that

and someone's been living for centuries

and though you're not the one here with me baby

i'm gonna keep on loving anyway

with or without you

cause it's what

we're here for and it's what i still believe in in

and we'll probably keep throwing stones

keep on saying stupid things

but let's not forget what we're after

don't stop dreaming the dream

and don't give up on tenderness

and the pure ways we see

when we see with our hearts instead of with fear
