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
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
And 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
To 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
Yeah, 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
And 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
And I know when I die
You’ll be on my mind
And I’ll love you, always
Always
Oh baby, don’t you do me no wrong
Baby, don’t you do me no wrong
Oh baby, don’t you do me no wrong, oh no
Oh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Unwavering Devotion Amidst Heartbreak
Bon Jovi’s “Always” is a powerful ballad that captures the torment and undying devotion of a heartbroken lover. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of longing and regret, as the narrator grapples with the pain of losing someone deeply cherished. Through evocative lines about memories, mistakes, and the willingness to do anything for another chance, the song resonates with anyone who’s experienced love’s lingering ache. The chorus, promising eternal love “forever and a day,” stands as a testament to the persistence of true feelings, even when faced with loss and remorse.
