I know you've been hurt before

I can see it in your eyes

And if you just shut the door

I would not be surprised



Even though i know you've heard it

These words i'm tryin' to say

I think the others only flirted

With the true meaning of always



Chorus



Well you can say what you wanna

But i ain't gonna

Stop this journey to the center of your heart



I see the candle through your window

It burns there every night

The shadow leaves an innuendo

Of no one holdin' you right



Many nights i've dreamt you near me

But awakened to you gone

I know one day you'll hear me

I don't care how long



Chorus



I've waited a lifetime baby

Just to know your name

We've done everything in our minds

Let's stop the game, lets stop it



Even though i know

You've heard these words i'm tryin' to say

Somehow i think these others

They only flirted with the true meaning of always
