Lyrics
Love will abide, take things in stride
Love is enduring and should be faced with resilience.
Sounds like good advice, but there's no one at my side
Despite the advice, the speaker is currently alone.
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
Time heals emotional wounds that are not visible.
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means
The speaker is skeptical about the healing power of time.
'Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
The speaker has made significant efforts to win someone's love.
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time
Expresses the speaker's commitment to love the person for a prolonged period.
Caught in my fears, blinking back the tears
The speaker is trapped in fears and holding back tears.
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
Denies being hurt by someone who never allowed emotional closeness.
And I never drew one response from you
The speaker received no reaction or acknowledgment from the person.
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Despite the speaker's efforts, the person was involved with other girls.
'Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
Reiterates the speaker's attempts to win the person's love.
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long, long time
Anticipates the emotional pain of unrequited love for an extended duration.
Wait for the day you'll go away
Waiting for the inevitable day when the person will leave.
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
Acknowledges being warned about the emotional cost of pursuing the relationship.
And life's full of flaws, who knows the cause
Life is imperfect, and the reasons for this situation are unknown.
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Living with the memories of a love that never materialized.
'Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
The speaker tried everything to change the person's mind.
And I think I'm gonna miss you for a long, long time
Anticipating the long-lasting feeling of missing the person.
'Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
Repeats the speaker's efforts to make the person their own.
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time
Expresses the intention to love the person for an extended period despite challenges.
