Always

We were both children when
So full of innocence
We used to play our games in flowery fields
You're the one who could see
The good inside of me
And I knew then that I had something real

I used to love you from afar
As we all decided who we are
But you were never mine to have
Still I loved you to the last
Because you were my, you are my always

For years my feelings grew
But I was losing you
The only happiness I'd ever known
Another came along
And slowly won your heart
I cared enough for you to let you go

I used to love you from afar
As we all decided who we are
You were never mine to have
Still I loved you to the last
Because you were my, you are my always

A thousand times the words just died right on my lips
Regret came over me with its swift and stinging kiss

I used to love you from afar
As we all decided who we are
You were never mine to have
Still I loved you to the last
Because you were my, you are my always
