Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Love will abide

Take things in stride

Sounds like good advice

But there's no one at my side

[PreChorus]

And time washes clean

Love's wounds unseen

That's what someone told me

But I don't know what it means

[Chorus]

'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

[Verse 2]

Caught in my fears

Blinking back the tears

I can't say you hurt me

When you never let me near

[PreChorus]

And I never drew

One response from you

All the while, you fell

All over girls you never knew

[Chorus]

'Cause I've done everything I know

To try and make you mine

And I think it's going to hurt me

For a long, long time

[Verse 3]

Wait for the day

You'll go away

Knowing that you warned me

Of the price I'd have to pay

[PreChorus]

And life's full of flaws

Who knows the cause?

Living in the memory

Of a love that never was

[Chorus]

'Cause I've done everything I know

To try and change your mind

And I think I'm going to 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
