Wishing You Well

You said you'd be at a certain place
I waited there 'til the end of time
Wishing you well as I spend time in hell
You said you'd make sure I was all right
But you jumped on a plane and left me in flight
Seeing you off
Almost knowing you'd return
Someone said you had gotten a divorce
I was thinking I'd be next in line of course
Hoping you'd be mine
Rejection is what I fear
It makes a world of difference
Oh how I love you
No matter what they say of us
Oh how I love you
Because I love you
You're the one
Who brought me back to life
You said there was a time for us
Somehow that day has always been
Freaked out on love
Reliving old memories
There was a love much stronger than us both
Only we two could know
Wishing you well as I spend time in hell
We've been apart for so long
As the hours pass and the years disappear
Eating all the time
Feeding the monster inside
It makes a world of difference
Oh how I love you
No matter what they say of us
Oh how I love you
Because I love you
You're the one that brought me back to life
And I love you, you're my wife
And I've loved you all my life
And I love you, you're my wife
And I've loved you all my life
And I love you, you're my wife
And I've loved you all my life
And I love you, you're my wife
And I've loved you all my life
