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
