alright

i've had this song in my head since early this morning
or was it late last night? i can't recall.
i just know that it's been pressing my heart
to say not what's on my mind, but to say it all.

i always thought i knew you so ever so well
and i could make my decisions with you in mind.
i never really knew what love meant until
i saw it exhibited, until what you gave was mine.

but know this, nina, i'll never stray from your side.
you need someone to hold, i'll be there tonight
just listen to my voice and block out the rest
and i swear we'll end up alright.

you've had troubles, and you're not perfect
and we've upset each other quite a bit
there's times when I think you lie to me,
when we could both be called 'hypocrite'.

i've made my mistakes, actually more than my share.
and i've hurt you so much i can't understand
why you come back and give me that disguised gift
when i know i'm not yet your man.

so know this, nina, as long as i live and i breathe
if you need someone to hold i'll be at your side.
just give me a call and i'll be there to tell you
that i swear we'll end up alright.
