Love Me Anyway
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even if I break your heart
If we're a million miles apart
Do you think you'd walk away?
If I get lost in all the noise
Even if I lost my voice
Flirt with all the other boys
Could you?
Could you?
Could you?
Love me anyway?
Is it for better or for worse?
Or am I just your good time girl?
Can you still hold me when it hurts
Or would you walk away?
Even if I scandalize you
Cut you down and criticize you
Tell a million lies about you
What would you say?
Could you? (You)
Could you? (You)
Could you? (You)
Could you love me anyway?
Could you? (Aw, could you?)

Chris Stapleton’s voice isn’t music, it is EMOTION. It is why he can sing any “genre.” He makes any artist twice as good - and he has sung with some of the best. He is here on Earth to make duets.

I loved a man through all of this. But eventually I had to love myself more then the pain he put me through with his drug abuse and all the other women. I finally chose me
@karenkahulugan7313
Narcissist will never change.. It took me 16 long years before I finally realized this.. 🖤
@gypsylamb9502
Same here ... I’m currently working through a separation pending a divorce after 13 years of dealing with his addiction & emotional abuse. It’s not healthy to stay in a relationship where you are the only one that’s trying to make it work while your spouse feels like he doesn’t need to make any changes and that you should simply put up with all of the bad behavior ... We have to love ourselves more than to settle for that life.
