Mary Chapin Carpenter - Just Because lyrics

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 pa**es now I suppose 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?
