You've been hurting a long time
The kind of pain I know too well
It's been pulling you under
Like some kind of evil spell
I'm gonna hold, I'm gonna hold you
Till the ghosts are disappeared
I'm not going anywhere, I'm gonna stay right here
If I have to wait for you, I'll hang on the line
If I had to just make due, I'll do it 'til the end of time
If I have to feel this way, to know that you will be mine, all mine
That's the choice I make
That's the risk I'll take
If I have to wait, for you
Your tears are my tears
And I'm crying them too
'Cause I can't, no I can't
I just can't find a way to get through to you
I know you really love me, but there is a part of you still missing
You've given me all that you can, but I want everything, everything, everything
If I have to wait for you, I'll hang on the line
If I had to just make due, I'll do it 'til the end of time
If I have to feel this way, to know that you will be mine, all mine
That's the choice I make
That's the risk I'll take
If I have to wait, for you
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
If I have to wait for you, I will hold on the line
If I have to just make due, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it baby
If I have to wait for you, I'll hang on the line
If I had to just make due, I'll do it 'til the end of time
If I have to feel this way, to know that you will be mine, all mine
That's the choice I make
That's the risk I'll take
If I have to wait, for you
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
