Despite Everything from Bread & Circuses by That Joe Payne

A perfect man boasts a modesty
Be he’ll never be the boss of me
Unlike you

Oh yes,
I guess I’m drawn to a maverick
When you break the rules
I get my kicks
So taboo
you’re nothing new

Still I do it all for you
Who cares what’s true
Cos in my view
You’re the only choice
Amid all this noise
You’re the loudest voice
I’ll be there, sink or swim

I’ll love you, despite everything
I’ll love you no matter what life brings
I love you
And I’d do
Anything
To have you
And give you

The leading role in your one-man play
The lights are down
Your crowd awaits
They may boo

I guess no one loves you
Like you love yourself
This protagonist will not be shelved
Right on cue
Reborn anew

I still do it all for you
A fresh debut
A rave review
For your greatest show
They all loved your clownlike bravado
But when those critics revile you
And your fans bid you adieu

I’ll still love you, despite everything
I’ll love you no matter what life brings
I love you
And I’d do
Anything
To bring you your happy ending

I love you and I’d do anything
To bring you your happy ending
And if you ever lose
A new day begins
I know the future's ours to win

I love you
I love you
No matter what
No matter what
No matter what

I love you
And I’d do
Anything
To have you
And hold you
And give you your happy ending

I’ll love you
In spite of everything
