Because I Told You So

If I gave you the sky, if I laid down my lifeWould you believe me then?If I promised to change, if I carried the blameWould you believe me then?Could you see it like me and believe what I see?Could you listen, and remember that I love you only?Because I told you, because I told you soIf you told me you lied but I stayed true and triedWould you believe me then?And if your beauty was gone but my love lingered onWould you believe me then?Could you see it like me and believe what I see?Could you listen and remember that I love you only?Because I told you, because I told you soYou take the wheel for nowI'm too tired to drive this one home anyhow, for nowAnd when you mention my nameLet this one thing remain, my loveBelieve me nowIf I gave you the sky, if I laid down my lifeWould you believe me then?If I promised to change, if I carried the blame
