Just Because

Have you ever loved someone you knew nothing of
 Except you'd seen the light inside their eyes
 Have you ever loved someone just because
 Nothing felt so easy or so right
 And I think of you like the others do
 Wondering if you think of me
 And if you do, if you really do
 Who is it that you see
 Have you ever loved
 Whether right or wrong
 Have you ever loved someone
 Just because
 Have you ever tried to speak the truth instead of lie
 When it seemed you had everything to lose
 Have you ever tried to stand your ground instead of hide
 When staying only made you look a fool
 And I stayed by you though I think I knew
 It wouldn't change a thing
 Changes come to hearts with ease
 But they come so hard to me
 Have you ever tried to make it last, not knowing why
 Except you had to try
 Just because
 And every day that passes now, I s'pose I'm getting older
 Wiser with the things I've done
 But I hope I don't grow colder
 And now I see the ones, who've lost so much
 They swear they're done
 With love and all the chance it brings for pain
 but have you ever touched, and by itself it was enough
 to make you want to reach out once again
 And I'll touch you when I need a friend
 Or just a small reminder
 That I haven't grown too cold to feel
 You penetrate my armor
 Have you ever loved
 Whether right or wrong
 Have you ever loved someone
 Just because
 Have you ever loved someone
 Just because
