Just Because Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

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
