I know I won't, but sometimes I will because of you.

I won't wait forever

And I know you wouldn't want me to.

I won't be mad

If you decide you're ready for love

If I'm not the one you want.

Even when you're feeling blue

I won't tell you how special you are to me,

Because you don't even think it's true

I'll let my actions prove it to you.

I won't stay up at night and cry,

Because this time,

I didn't lie about my life

And you're still by my side.

I won't say it'll never be over

Or that I never want it to be,

Because time is a mystery

And love turns to history

When people don't think

Before they commit for good.

I won't try to be perfect

And fix all my flaws

Because I know you wouldn't love me

If I made any sense at all.

What I will do,

is let you know

That your love is safe with me

And that's the way it will always be.
