Love will abide, taking things in stride Sounds like good advice, but there's no one at my side And time washes clean, love's wound 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 him 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 failed all of the girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know To try and make him mine And I think it's gonna hurt me For a long, long time
Wait for the day, you'll go away Not 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 And I think I'm gonna miss you For a long, long time
Yes 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
