My Love Will Abide

My Love Will Abide

Verse 1

I could have tried harder

but I wouldn't have gotten any farther

I didn't have to do the math

because love isn't drawn on a map

I don't need to look at you through a mask

I can live with your photograph

Chorus

I never had a chance

I should have seen that after first glance

you are so perfect

and I just fall flat

I saw she was right there by your side

Though that made me run and hide

my love will abide

Verse 2

I see you smile with her

and it leaves me to burn

I could step up and break her up

but I know it's not enough

I could step in and stop this

but I'd rather fade away in the mist

Chorus

I never had a chance

I should have seen that after first glance

you are so perfect

and I just fall flat

I saw she was right there by your side

Though that made me run and hide

my love will abide

Bridge

You know I cried

I would have lied

and I could have died for you

you'll never see

the good in me

or what we could be

Chorus (revised)

I could ask you to dance

but I'd rather not take that chance

she's probably better

that's why you love her

She's right there by your side

Though that makes me run and hide

my love will abide

Verse 3

I hope she makes you happy

though you still have the key

I'll let you go

and wallow in my woes
