I know youve 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 youve heard it
These words Im 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 aint 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 Ive dreamt you near me
But awakened to you gone
I know one day youll hear me
I dont care how long
Chorus
Ive waited a lifetime baby
Just to know your name
Weve done everything in our minds
Lets stop the game, lets stop it
Even though I know
Youve heard these words Im tryin to say
Somehow I think these others
They only flirted with the true meaning of always
