This Romeo is bleeding but you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see, I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up
Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me
Yeah, I will love you, baby
Always and I'll be there
Forever and a day, always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always
Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
Touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words
You've been needing to hear, I'll wish I was him
'Cause those words are mine, to say to you
'Til the end of time
And I will love you, baby
Always and I'll be there
Forever and a day, always
If you told me to cry for you, I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
Well, there ain't no luck in these loaded dice
But baby, if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place, where the sun still shines
Yeah, I will love you, baby
Always and I'll be there
Forever and a day, always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the Heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always
Always
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see, I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me
Always and I'll be there
Forever and a day, always
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme

um to all you non-bonjovi fans fuck off and get a life assholes.! this is amazing... why would you read and write here if you hate bon jovi in the first place.. it is people like you that ruin muzik today and are such stereotypical people... fucking losers
okay. this is one of the best love songs ever. there's no doubt about it. the lyrics are sooo amazing.
lines like "this romeo is bleeding but you can't see his blood" "it's been raining since you left me now I'm drowning in the flood" "what I'd give to run my fingers through your hair to touch your lips, to hold you near" "when he holds you close, when he pulls you near when he says the words you've been needing to hear I'll wish I was him `cause those words are mine to say to you till the end of time"
those lines are amazing. and of course the chorus. jon and richie are one of the best song writing duos in the history of music.
and yeah. it is about a stalker. jon said it on the "This left feels right concert" but to me. it's a love song. and it's going to always be a love song. a classic. and the best love song ever.
I couldn't agree more...
I couldn't agree more...
Not horrible love ballad about heart break.. :) Really good.
"When he holds you close When he pulls you near When he says the words you've been needing to hear I wish I was him cause those words are mine to say to you until the end of time"
Best lyrics ever! Completely get that. One of my fave song lines ever
Finally someone uses the correct lyrics. It is 'I wish I was...' not 'I'll wish I was...'

yeah, it's a real love song. the only Bon Jovi song i like, though but i really do hate the video to this song. it just ruins it all, the guy treats the girl so badly and when the girl finally dumps him he goes: "oh why are you not with me. i'll be loving you forever baby" anyone agrees that the video sucks?
I agree with you on the video. The Song is about a mistake that ended a relationship, but i'm not sure it's that kind of mistake (cheating), more of a no-commitment-for-the-time-being.
It seemed that in 94' when this was released that the days of the big, bombastic, 80's power ballad were over. But than this badboy came out and just destroyed them all. This song is a power ballad, but it is also an amazing love song, and beautiful piece of music. This song will never get old. It is amazing.
@The_Soul It’ll be awesome ALWAYS!

Lol, in addition to my last message, I want to say this. It was getting late, you see, and I didn't exactly know what I was saying :) The last sentence. I mean: you'll know the difference between a lovesong and a dangerous song.
omg, guy above ma post!!! lol, why would you tell people that? you could just have ruined that song for me! ahh well, it remains a love song for me, and a touching one at that. The video certainly doesnt suggest its about a stalker, maybe thts just what it reminds bon jovi of.
I really dont care whether the song is about a stalker or not...thats not the way i took it when i first heard it, and that impression is going to stay with me. I love this song, I loved if from the moment I heard it years ago...and i have alot of good (and not so good) memories associated with it. It's a great song, one of my very favorites, and it always will be.
