I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live
Not stopping

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I'll be twenty-three
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

(You'll sit alone forever)
(If you wait for the right time)
(What are you hoping for?)
(I'm here and now I'm ready)
(Holding on tight)
(Don't give away the end)
(The one thing that stays mine)

    I wish people didn't minimalize this song to a "love song" The best lines in this song are the general lines of human insight, like "I won't always love these selfish things" and "You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time" and even "I'm still driving away, and I'm sorry everyday". I think these 3 lines are by far the most powerful in the whole song.

    I wish people wouldn't automatically assume every song out there that COULD be IS a love song. Love songs have their place and are great, but some songs just mean so much more, and this song means SO much more. I love this song. It's absolutely beautiful. (love the strings).
