When we first met you knew I was still a boy
Trying to grow up fast and put down my old toys
Couldn't believe they'd call him a man after what he'd done to you
Maybe I was too young but I tried to fill his shoes
Honey I fell short a time or two
But I fell in love with you
As of late we've said some things that we didn't mean to say
Tried to reconcile with you but you pushed me away
Threw some daggers of your own straight into my heart
I pulled them out and tried to stop the bleeding before it could start
No matter what you do
I can't stop loving you
Because you asked me to be a man and I didn't think I could
But if you give me half the chance to change I would
Cut down our love like a dying tree now a rotten stump remains
I can't seem to pull it out even with the strongest of chains
I propose we plant anew and nurture it with care
We'll grow fat and old and gray underneath the shade we'll share
Honey am I getting through?
I can't stop loving you
Because you asked me to be a man and I didn't think I could
But if you give me half the chance to change I would
If you give me half the chance to change I would
