[I loved you when the summer turned to rain I loved you through the joy and through the pain But some hearts break in ways they can't explain And I loved you anyway] [Verse 1] You came to me with tired eyes And a suitcase by your side You said you didn't know the reason You just couldn't stay this time I reached for you, you pulled away Like my touch had lost its place There were words behind your silence I could see them on your face [Pre-Chorus] I wanted to make you stay I wanted to make it right But love can't hold somebody Who has already said goodbye [Hook] I loved you anyway Even when you walked away I loved you through the hurt I loved you through the shame I loved you anyway Though you never chose to stay Some loves don't last forever But they never fade away [Verse 2] I kept your letter in a drawer For longer than I should I read those words a thousand times Still wishing that I could Go back to that little room Where we dreamed our dreams out loud Before the world got in between us Before we lost what we had found [Pre-Chorus] I used to blame myself For every lonely night Now I know two people can love And still not make it right [Hook] I loved you anyway Even when you walked away I loved you through the hurt I loved you through the shame I loved you anyway Though you never chose to stay Some loves don't last forever But they never fade away [Verse 3] I saw you once on Sunday Down beside the old café You were laughing with somebody And I almost called your name But I stopped myself from turning Back into the girl I was The one who thought forever Was something love could promise us [Bridge] So if you ever think about me When the night is cold and still Know I never stopped believing That we loved the best we could And if somebody asks you Why I let you go that day Tell them I was strong enough To love you anyway [Final Hook] I loved you anyway Even when you walked away I loved you through the hurt I loved you through the shame I loved you anyway Now I finally understand Sometimes loving someone Means letting go of their hand [Outro] So take my love with you Wherever you may go I don't need you to come back I just needed you to know I loved you anyway... Yes, I loved you anyway.
