[Verse 1]
So the story goes on down the less traveled road
It's a variation on the one I was told
And although it's not the same it's awful close, yeah

[Verse 2]
In an ordinary fairytale land
There's a promise of a perfect happy end
And I imagine having just sort of that
Is better than nothing

[Chorus 1]
So, you'll be mine, forever and almost always
And I'll be fine, just love me when you can, yeah
And I'll wait patiently, I'll wake up every day
Just hoping that you still care

[Verse 3]
In the corner of my mind I know to well
Oh, that surely even I deserve the best
But instead of leaving, I just put the issue to bed
And out of my head

[Verse 4]
And just when I believe you've changed for good
Well, you go and prove me wrong just like I knew you would
When I've run out of second chances you give me that look
And you're off the hook
[Chorus 2]
Because you're mine, forever and almost always
Oh, and I'm fine, just love me when you can, yeah
And I'll wait patiently, I'll wake up every day
Just hoping that you still care

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
What am I still doing here?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's all becoming so clear, yeah

[Chorus 3]
You'll be mine forever and almost always
It ain't right, to just love me when you can, oh
I won't wait patiently, or wake up everyday
Just hoping that you'll still care

[Outro]
Forever and almost always
No, it ain't right to just love me when you can, baby
Ain't gonna wait patiently, I won't wake up everyday
Just hoping that you still care
