Capo 1
Well when I’m the reason you get mad
Consider when you never had
A reason to be quite so angry for it all.
And when you’re the reason I get red
I’ll consider throwing you to bed
As well as all the times when I got nothing much at all.
But don't walk away, and I won't walk away.
Well, when we’re the reason you get scared
Consider that we’ve never fared
Better than the fights in which we gave our all.
And when you’re the reason I get cross
I’ll consider that we never lost
The wish to make things right when it mattered most of all.
But don't walk away, and I won't walk away.
Well when I’m the reason you get mean
Consider if you’d never seen
That bunch of flowers twice the height what I thought we could find.
And when we’re the reason you must leave
Promise, girl, that you’ll believe
Yourself and not my stuttered pleas for you to change your mind.
But don't walk away, and I won't walk away.
But if I ever wonder why
I love you
Just open up one bright brown eye and I will surely find.
That the way I feel inside will sure
Remind me who it is that makes
The butterflies within my stomach twist and turn and dive.
But don't walk away, and I won't walk away.
