Always

This romeo is bleeding

but you can't see his blood

Its nothing but some feelings

that this old dog kicked up

Its been raining since you left me

now I'm drowning in the flood

You see I've always been a fighter

but without you

I give up

Now I can't sing a love song

like the way its meant to be

Well

I guess I'm not that good anymore

But baby

thats just me

I'll be there till the stars don't shine

Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme

I know when I die

you'll be on my mind

Now your pictures that you left behind

Are just memories of a different life

Some that made us laugh

some that made us cry

One that made you have to say goodbye

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair

Touch your lips

to hold you near

When you say your prayers

try to understand

I've made mistakes

I'm just a man

When he holds you close

when he pulls you near

When he says the words you've been needing to hear

I wish I was him

that those words were mine

To say to you till the end of time

If you told me not cry for you

I could

If you told me not die for you

I would

Take a look at my face

there's no price I won't pay

To say these words to you

Well

there aint no luck

in this loaded dice

But baby if you give me just one more try

We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives

We'll find a place where the sun still shines

I'll be there till the stars don't shine

Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme

I know when I die

you'll be on my mind

Always ...
