Stubborn Love

Stubborn Love - Kathy Troccoli

Caught again Your faithless friend

Don't You ever tire of hearing

What a fool I've been

Guess I should pray

But what can I say

Oh it hurts to know the hundred times

I've caused You pain

The "forgive me" sounds so empty

When I never change

Yet You stay and say "I love you still "

Forgiving me time and time again

It's Your stubborn love

That never lets go of me

I don't understand how You can stay -

Perfect love embracing the worst in me

How I long for Your stubborn love

Funny me

Just couldn't see

Even long before I knew You

You were loving me

Sometimes I cry -

You must cry too

When You see the broken promises

I've made to you

I keep saying that I'll trust You

Though I seldom do

Yet You stay and say You love me still

Knowing some day I'll be like You

It's Your stubborn love

That never lets go of me

I don't understand how You can stay -

Perfect love embracing the worst in me

How I long for Your stubborn love

Perfect love embracing the worst in me

How I long for Your stubborn love

That never lets go of me

I don't understand how You can stay -

Perfect love embracing the worst in me

And You never let me go

I believe I finally know

I can't live without Your stubborn love
