Stubborn Love

by 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 Though "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 someday I'll be like You And Your stubborn love, it 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
