Because I Told You So

If I gave you the sky, if I laid down my life
Would you believe me then?
If I promised to change, if I carried the blame
Would 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 so

If you told me you lied but I stayed true and tried
Would you believe me then?
And if your beauty was gone but my love lingered on
Would 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 so

You take the wheel for now
I'm too tired to drive this one home anyhow, for now

And when you mention my name
Let this one thing remain, my love
Believe me now

If I gave you the sky, if I laid down my life
Would you believe me then?
If I promised to change, if I carried the blame
