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
Chorus
Well you can say what you wanna
But I ain`t 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 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
Chorus
I`ve waited a lifetime baby
Just to know your name
We`ve done everything in our minds
Let`s stop the game, lets 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
