I know you're heard the excuses before 
So I won't waste your time and I'll keep this short 
I've bound my emotions 'cause I can't afford to be wrong 
I know we've talked about being good friends 
So we've been real careful of the signals we've sent 
But all of your glances they came and the went to my head 
And I'm not a man to throuw words to the wind 
When I said "I love you" that's what I meant 
And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life 
The rest of my life 
The rest of my life 
I don't want to rush this cause my greatest fear 
is taking for granted what's taken us years 
To build from the ground up with all of the tears that we cried 
We've taken our time and for this I'm so glad 
Now we can be sure that this moment will last 
We've traveled a road of mistakes in our past to get her 
And I'm not about to throw words to the wind 
When I said "I love you" that's what I meant 
And I'm going to show you if it takes me the rest of my life 
The rest of my life 
The rest of my life 
And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind 
When I said "I love you" well, that's what I meant 
And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life
