So the story goes on down
the less traveled road
It's a variation on
the one I was told
and although it's not the same
it's awful close, yeah
in an ordinary fairy tale land
there's a promise of a perfect happy end
and I imagine having just short of that
is better than nothing
so you'll be mine
forever and almost always
and I'll be fi ne
just love me when you can
and I'll wait patiently
I'll wake up every day
just hoping that you still care
in the corner of my mind I know too well
oh that surely even I deserve the best
but instead of leaving
I just put the issue to bed
and outta my head
oh and just when I believe
you've changed for good
well you go and prove me wrong
just like I knew you would
when I run out of second chances
you give me that look
and you're off the hook
because you're mine
forever and almost always
and I'm fine
just love me when you can
and I'll wait patiently
I'll wake up every day
just hoping that you still care
oh, what am I still doing here?
oh, it's all becoming so clear
you'll be mine
forever and almost always
it ain't right to just love me when you can
I won't wait patiently
or wake up everyday
just hoping that you'll still care
forever and almost always
no it ain't right
to just love me when you can, baby
ain't gonna wait patiently
I won't wake up everday
just hoping that you still care
