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, blinkin' by the tears I can't say you hurt me, when you never let me near And I never drew one response from you And all the while you fell all over men you never knew Cause 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'll go away Knowing that you want me, of the price I'd have to pay And life's full of flaws, who knows the cause Living in the memory of a 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 For a long, long time
