Love will abide Take things in stride Sounds like good advice But there's no one at my side
And time washes clean Love's wounds unseen That's what someone told me But I don't know what it means
Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you For a long, long time
Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears I can't say you hurt me When you never let me near
And I never drew One response from you All the while you fell Over girls you never knew
And I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think it's gonna hurt me For a long, long time
Wait for the day, you go away Knowing that you warned me Of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of loss Who knows the cost Living in the memory Of the love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know To try and change your mind And I think I'm gonna miss you For a long, long time And I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you For a long, long time
