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.
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 mem - o - ry 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.
'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.
