Forever and Almost Always

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 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 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

Oh, and I'm fine

Just love me when you can

And I'll wait patiently

I'll wake up everyday

Just hoping that you'll still care

Oh, oh,

What am I still doing here

Oh, 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, Oh

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, baby

Ain't gonna wait patiently

I won't wake up everyday

Just hoping that you care

Oh
