Forever

Lyrics

I learned when I was a young boy You turn your cheek you get slapped I take the punches I can't slip And I give it right back Even if I win girl, you know it really won't mean too much What I want baby most of all is the only thing I can't touch If I give you my heart would you love me forever Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall If my world falls apart could you keep it together If I can't have you I don't want no one at all Just because I'm so quiet Just because I don't cry The hardest lesson to learn girl Is how to take it inside There's leather and jewels to soothe me But it really isn't what I need There's an aching hurt inside of me And it's the kind of thing you don't see If I give you my heart would you love me forever Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall If my world falls apart could you keep it together If I can't have you I don't want no one at all Now the years are unwinding But I still feel the hurt I've been fighting my whole life For the privilege to work Now I've stopped and looked around me There's nobody left to blame If I don't have you to hold me girl All of my work's in vain If I give you my heart would you love me forever Would you pick up the pieces if I stumble and fall If my world falls apart could you keep it together If I can't have you I don't want no one at all
