So the story goes on down A less traveled road. It's a variation on the one I was told, And although it's not the same, It's awful close 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 fine, Just love me when you can And I'll wait patiently, I'll wake up everyday 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 out of 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've 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'll be fine, Just love me when you can And I'll wait patiently, I'll wake up everyday Just hoping that, You still care What am I still doing here? 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 every day Just hoping that, You'll still care...
