Love Me Anyway
Parachute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We disguise ourselves
From the ones we love
Ain't it funny how we build up walls
Just to keep them out
From the things we've done?
And I know I shouldn't
You're looking for the real thing, yeah
There's nothing I can do
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
Yeah I can feel you there, but I'm all alone
But but but
Baby tell me where you want me still
When you see it all
'Cause
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
We go looking through the darkest nights
For the chemicals that can save our soul
We go chasing after every high
Or the cheapest ride just to free our minds
And I know I shouldn't
You see right through it
You're looking for the real thing
There's nothing I can do
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
Yeah I can feel you there, but I'm all alone
But but but
Baby tell me where you want me still
When you see it all
(I can feel you there)
'Cause
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
I know that I'm helpless
Can't they say I'm selfish?
But you love me anyway
I run from many feelings
Never say the right thing
But you love me anyway
Scared to show the real side
Caught up in my own pride
But you love me anyway
I might never show it
But I know that I'm broken
And you love me anyway
Yeah
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
(Love me anyway)
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
(Love me anyway)
Yeah I can feel you there, but I'm all alone
(When I'm all alone)
But but but
Baby tell me where you want me still
When you see it all
(Where you want me, girl?)
'Cause
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna
I know you're gonna love me anyway
