[Verse 1]


   This Romeo 

is bleeding

   but you can

't see his blo

od

   It's nothin

g but some fee

lings
           
that this old 

              
dog kicked up


   It's been r

aining since y

ou left me
        
now I'm drowni

ng in the floo

d

   You see I'v

e always been 

a fighter
           
but without yo

          
u I give up


[Pre-chorus 1]


   Now I can't

 sing a love s

ong
         
like the way i

t's meant to b

e
        
Well, I guess 

I'm not that g

ood anymore
             
but baby, that

         
's just me


[Chorus]

             
Yeah, I will l

          
ove you, baby
  
Al - ways
             
And I'll be th

             
ere forever an

     
d a day
  
Al - ways

I'll be there 

till the stars

 don't shine
         
till the heave

ns burst and t

he words don't

 rhyme
       
I know when I 

die, you'll be

 on my mind
         
and I'll love 

you
    
Al - ways


[Verse 2]

         
Now your pictu

res that you l

eft behind
         
are just memor

ies of a diffe

rent life
          
Some that made

 us laugh, som

e that made us

 cry
           
One that made 

              
you have to sa

       
y goodbye

         
What I'd give 

to run my fing

ers through yo

ur hair,
   
to touch your 

lips, to hold 

you near
         
When you say y

our prayers tr

y to understan

d
           
I've made mist

             
akes, I'm just

   
 a man


[Pre-chorus 2]

        
When he holds 

you close, whe

n he pulls you

 near
        
when he says t

he words you'v

e been needing

 to hear
          
I'll wish I wa

s him 'cause t

hose words are

 mine
             
to say to you 

             
till the end o

  
f time


[Chorus]

            
And I will lov

         
e you, baby
  
Al - ways
             
And I'll be th

             
ere forever an

     
d a day
  
Al - ways


[Bridge]

             
  If you told 

       
me to cry for 

you

  I could
             
  If you told 

             
me to die for 

    
you
    
I would
             
Take a look at

     
 my face
              
There's no pri

           
ce I won't pay
   
to say these w

ords to you

[Pre-chorus]

            
Well, there ai

n't no luck in

 these loaded 

dice
    
But baby if yo

u give me just

 one more try
       
we can pack up

 our old dream

s and our old 

lives
      
We'll find a p

lace where the

 sun still shi

nes


[Chorus]

             
Yeah, I will l

          
ove you, baby
  
Al - ways
             
And I'll be th

             
ere forever an

     
d a day
  
Al - ways

I'll be there 

till the stars

 don't shine
         
till the heave

ns burst and t

he words don't

 rhyme
       
I know when I 

die, you'll be

 on my mind
         
and I'll love 

you
    
Al - ways
