[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 up and leave next day
So don't walk away, then turn and say I love you anyway

[Verse 2]
You think you're so bad, but you're just badly raised
You twisted 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

[Chorus]
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 up and leave next day
So don't walk away, then turn and say I love you anyway

[Verse 3]
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 till then
You're my foe and my brother and lover and friend
[Verse 4]
Don't stay for the good stuff, there ain't none left
I'll love you and leave you, drive from this town
If I give you a ring, there's one thing you should know
You have seven seconds before it's too late to go

[Outro]
So don't walk away, then turn and say I love you anyway
I never ever want to see you till our wedding day
Don't walk away, then turn and say I love you anyway
I never ever want to see you till our wedding day
You come for a week to love me, then you up and leave next day
I never ever want to see you till our wedding day
Don't walk away then turn and say I love you anyway
Don't walk away
