Love You Anyway
Boyzone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what you want from me
So I can try to make you see
That I'm in no position for giving
'Cause all I see you do is lie
And I can't help but close my eyes
And wonder 'bout you in my life
I'm drowning in your tears
I'm delirious
Are you serious?
What goes on in your head
I'm just curious
'Cause I'm hanging here
Got me dangled here
Think your love, oh your love has got off my head

It's unbelievably hard to love you
But I love you anyway
I've been trying too hard not to love you
But I love you anyway

Oh, I should've known
That you'd go and steal my eyes
Oh, I should've known
From then on I'd lose my life

I'm delirious
Are you serious?
What goes on in your head
I'm just curious
'Cause I'm hanging here
Got me dangled here
Think your love, oh your love has got off my head

It's unbelievably hard to love you
But I love you anyway
I've been trying too hard not to love you
But I love you anyway
It's so incredibly hard to love you
But I love you anyway
And every time I try too hard not to love you
I love you anyway

I don't get it, I really don't get it
I try to walk away but my feet won't let me
I don't get it, I just don't get it
I try to walk away but my feet won't let me

You have me baby
You drive me crazy
You hear me baby?
You drive me crazy

It's unbelievably hard to love you
But I love you anyway
I've been trying too hard not to love you
But I love you anyway
(You have me baby)
It's so incredibly hard to love you
(You drive me crazy)
But I love you anyway
Every time I try to hard not to love you
I love you anyway

I don't get it, I really don't get it
I try to walk away but my feet won?t let me




I don't get it, I just don't get it
I try to walk away but my feet won't let me

Tell me what you want from me
Please share your needs with me


So I can try to make you see
I'll do my best to understand


That I'm in no position for giving
I'm unable to continue being selfless

I'm extremely confused and disoriented


Are you serious?
Is this situation really happening?


What goes on in your head

Subsequently, my world would crumble
