Even So

Rachael Yamagata

You're gonna hate me when I tell you everything

You're gonna question whether you really know me at all

You will revisit every smile, and where it fit into the day

I know this is how it will play

And I try, oh I try to think of all the things

That I could do to let you know that I love you



Even so



I was not looking to do you wrong

Was not looking for a change of scenery

Don't remember where, or when, or how I did

But I'm hoping that you'll forgive me

And I try, oh I try to think of all the things

That I could do to let you know that I love you



Do you remember how we used to run in the summertime?

Do you remember how we'd run in the summertime?



Oh I try, I try so very hard

And I cry, I cry so very much

For I love you like you'll never let yourself feel again

I love you like a brother and a friend

I love you with my whole heart until it bends

I love you like a lover until the very end



But I'll always think of all the things

You did to let me know that you love me

But you're leaving

Even so
