[Verse 1]
Love will abide
Take things in stride
Sounds like good advice
But there's no one at my side

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
