The Ballad of Me and You

Hey there, hi, hello, are you doing okaY?
You look a litlte down,
So what you got to say?
Tell me all about it,
Tell me all your pain.
I just wanna know if you're doing okay.

Then you looked at me in tears
And you stared at me in strife
You begun to tell the story
Of your sad sad life
The people who hate you
And what they believe
Then you stood right up and you said
Oh you said to me

Break me, take me, I don't care.
Love me, hate me, I still don't care.
This heart of mines a mirror, it reflects my life to you
I needed love like water, and boy somehow you knew.
The world just sees me shattered, my body broke in two
But then love began, the ballad of Me and You.

We spent our years together
After little was said
And many years later we were happily wed
We had a couple kids and we watched them grow true
They moved out with our love and new love too.

And I watched you as you waved goodbye to the happiness we knew,
But still we had each other, that much we knew was true
We'll spend our final years in love and reminisce the past
We'll talk of how we met and share a tear...

Break me, take me, I don't care.
Love me, hate me, I still don't care.
This heart of mines a mirror, it reflects my life to you
I needed love like water, and boy somehow you knew.
The world just sees me shattered, my body broke in two
But then love began, the ballad of Me and You.

Like many a good story, ours came to an end
You went to the angels with my love to send
Before you slept, you looked at me and said
"Love, don't cry, I promised I'd love you long after I die"
I held you close in my arms, and I kissed your gentle lips.
I knew I found a love that was right for me to miss
I sang your favorite song, and I tried to stay in tune
In tears it's hard to keep my voice from falling

Break me, take me, I don't care.
Love me, hate me, I still don't care.
This heart of mines a mirror, it reflects my life to you
I needed love like water, and boy somehow you knew.
The world just sees me shattered, my body broke in two
But then love began, the ballad of Me and You.
