Love Me Anyway
P!nk [feat. Chris Stapleton] 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 lose my voice
Flirt with all the other boys
What would you say?
Could you?
Could you?
Could you love me anyway?
Is it for better or for worse
Or am I just your good time girl?
Could 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?
Could you?
Could you?
Could you love me anyway?
Could you? (Aw, could you?)
Could you? (Could you?)
Could you?
Could you love me anyway?
Could you?
Could you? (Could you still love me?)
Could you? (Pick up the pieces of me?)
Could you? (Could you still love me?)
Could you love me anyway?
Could you? (Ooh, could you still love me?)
Could you? (Pick up the pieces of me?)
Could you? (Could you still love me?)
Could you love me anyway?
Could you? (Would you catch me when I fall?)
Could you? (And we rise above it all)
Could you? (You hold me when it hurts)
Like it's the end of the world
Could you?
Could you?
Could you?
Could you?
The song Love Me Anyway is a poignant ballad about raw, unconditional love. It is a duet between P!nk and Chris Stapleton, and the lyrics are a plea to a lover to love them, scars and all. The lyrics describe situations where the singer might not be perfect or might make mistakes, yet the question remains if their lover will still love them despite their flaws. The opening lines, "Even if you see my scars, even if I break your heart," set the tone for the vulnerability that this song evokes. The chorus repeats the question, "Could you love me anyway?" as if desperate for an answer.
Throughout the song, the lyrics explore the concept of unconditional love, a love that can weather any storm. The song asks, "Is it for better or for worse, or am I just your good time girl?" It begs the question of whether the relationship is based solely on good times, or if it is strong enough to survive the bad times too. It also touches on themes of trust, betrayal, and forgiveness, and asks the ultimate question of whether true love can conquer all. Overall, Love Me Anyway is a poignant song that speaks to the human desire for acceptance and fundamentally being loved for who we are.

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.

These 2 are the ONLY artists that can make me stay up til 6 in the morning on repeat. This song cuts through the soul on a whole new level....
@soullessrebel4907
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.
