I would not let myself believe
that you might stray
& I would stand by you
no matter what they'd say, I would
have thought I'd be with you
until my dying day
until my dying day
I used to think my life
was often empty
a lonely space to fill
you hurt me more than
I ever would have imagined
you made my world stand still
& in that stillness
there was a freedom
I never felt before
I would not let myself believe
that you might stray
& I would stand by you
no matter what they'd say, I would
have thought I'd be with you
until my dying day
until my dying day
