## Letra

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine/ I'm leaving my life in your hands/ People say I'm crazy and that I am blind/ Risking it all in a glance/ And how you got me blind is still a mystery/ I can't get you out of my head/ Don't care what is written in your history/ As long as you're here with me/
I don't care who you are/ Where you're from/ What you did/ As long as you love me/ Who you are/ Where you're from/ Don't care what you did/ As long as you love me/
Every little thing that you have said and done/ Feels like it's deep within me/ Doesn't really matter if you're on the run/ It seems like we're meant to be/
I don't care who you are (who you are)/ here you're from (where you're from)/ What you did/ As long as you love me (I don't know)/ Who you are (who you are)/ Where you're from (where you're from)/ Don't care what you did/ As long as you love me/
As long as you love me/
As long as you love me/
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows/ But I guess it shows/ When you look into my eyes/ What you did and where you're coming from/ I don't care, as long as you love me, baby./
I don't care who you are (who you are)/ Where you're from (where you're from)/ What you did/ As long as you love me (you love me)/ (repeat to fade)/ who you are (who you are)/ Where you're from (where you're from)/ Don't care what you did/ As long as you love me (you love me)/
Who you are (who you are)/ Where you're from/ what did you did/ as long as you love me/
Who you are/ where you're from(where you're from)/ as long as you love me/
Who you are as long/ as you love me/ What you did (I don't care)/ as long as you love me
