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
