I believe III

Well, I wrote about hooks and choruses etcetera because that would be the common approach to tackle things. Not so here! But that doesn't mean that much. Some of the best of all-time songs don't care about the standard structure at all. "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones begins straight with the chorus, as does "Yesterday" be the Beatles where you might argue if that part is a chorus at all or rather some kind of verse (the lyrics differ), "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull just comprises three verses and a way too long intro as for acceptable radio stuff at that time - and that's it. So, nothing wrong with placing the title/hook line right within the first part of the song whatever it might be called:

whatwever we have done and said
I believe in our love
I believe in our love
I believe we can go on

I beg you try to understand
I won't leave you because of that
I won't leave you because of that
I won't leave you for anyone

The first version is repeated later so as to make it a bit more chorus-like.

Now I have two parts "B" - that's eight lines of text - for functioning as verses and a mysterious part that I called "C". The latter is not really suitable as a verse since it occurs only once in the middle of the song and then four times at the end. No use telling the story after presenting the solution. I might utilize it in different ways depending on its position: the first "C"-part might add to the story (the verses), the fading out parts may reinforce the message of the "chorus" or "A"-part: there had been some kind of misunderstanding or cheating (that's going to be told in the verses) but "I" am willing to make up and quite confident that it'll work out.
