"Long Long Time" lyrics

Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice, but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean, love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me, but I don't know what it means

'Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time

Caught in my fears, blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me, when you never let me near
And I never drew, one response from you
All the while you fell, all over girls you never knew

'Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long, long time

Wait for the day, you'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws, who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was

'Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
And I think I'm gonna miss you for a long, long time

'Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long, long time
