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



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 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 a love that never was



Cause I've done everything I know

To try and change your mind

AndI 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
