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
Well, you can say what you wanna
But I ain't gonna stop
This journey 2 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
Well, you can say what you wanna
But I ain't gonna stop
This journey 2 the center of your heart
I've waited a lifetime, baby
Just to know your name
We've done everything in our minds
Let's stop the game, let's 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
