If you’re a monster, then I’ll build you a city to destroy.
There’s much more evil in this world than the love between two boys.
And you can climb a tower
And I will be Fae Ray if you desire
And if you let me I will show you
The love that you require
The love that you require
The love that you require.
If I’m an Angel, I was tempted the minute that you fell
Cause any heaven without you there is just another hell.
And I will play the trumpet
And I will lead the charge on Calgary
If I think for just one moment
That you’d stay here with me
That you’d stay here with me
That you’d stay here with me.
You’re too selfish, I’m too thoughtless
We’re both too insecure.
If these are symptoms of an illness
Our love might be the cure.
We don’t have to suffer
We can choose to let go of our pain
And if it takes awhile to get there
I’ll love you just the same
I’ll love you just the same
I’ll love you just the same.
If you’re a failure then the test was politically skewed.
If fame and fortune is what matters, then everybody’s screwed.
Our hearts don’t have equations
Our souls aren’t constellations we can map
But if you tell me you still want me
I’ll give you all I have
I’ll give you all I have
I’ll give you all I have.
You say you’re broken, but I’m certain your parts are all in place.
I’ll thank Benini for your body,
Rembrandt for your face.
Different things are different
And different isn’t something to erase
And though our gears aren’t turning perfect
I’ll love you all my days
I’ll love you all my days
I’ll love you all my days.
You often say that I should leave you and find a better man.
The thing is, baby I don’t want to. Even if I can.
So what if I’m mistaken
So what if I am taking things too far?
The point is simply that I love you
Just the way you are.
You’re perfect how you are.
I love you how you are.
