Without Apology - After Beethoven

Based on Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27 No. 2, Movement I Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven New lyrics and vocal interpretation by Cybergal They tell me love should have a reason A shape that everyone can see But I have searched for an explanation And found no reason not to need you They tell me I should learn to silence The part of me that speaks your name But every time I try to bury it My heart remembers you again I know there are those who would condemn us Who'd rather see us turn away They'll call this love a foolish weakness They'll tell me I should be ashamed But I have lived beneath their judgement I've watched my fear become a cage And I would rather face their anger Than spend another day afraid Because when you look at me I don't feel wrong I don't feel broken I don't feel alone So let them say what they want to say Let them turn their eyes away I cannot make my heart stop loving you And I will not pretend I can If loving you makes me a rebel Then let me stand against the world I would rather live one honest moment Than spend a lifetime hiding what I feel There were nights I nearly lost you Before I ever held you close I wondered if the fear around us Would be the thing that hurt us most But love was never meant for hiding Never meant to live behind a door And every breath I take beside you Makes me certain I want more Because when you look at me I hear the truth No voice outside us Can tell me what to choose So let them say what they want to say Let them turn their eyes away I cannot make my heart stop loving you And I will not pretend I can If loving you makes me a rebel Then let me stand against the world I would rather live one honest moment Than spend a lifetime hiding what I feel I have been afraid I have been ashamed I have questioned every feeling And called it by another name But I know now What my heart knew then I don't need their permission To love you So let them say what they want to say Let the whole world turn away I cannot make my heart stop loving you And I will never ask it to If loving you makes me a rebel Then let me stand here unafraid For every tear I cried in silence Was a price I will not pay again And if tomorrow brings their judgement Let tomorrow come Tonight I have you And I am not ashamed.
