I will be here once the thrill is gone
I will be here when everything is just right
I will be here after you move on
I'm a rock in the ocean
And you, you are the tide
You know I am going nowhere
I'm just waiting here for the water to rise
I don't know how the story ends
And I don't want to know, so if you do
Don't tell me
Let's pretend we write it as we go
Promises are so hard to keep
We say things we don't mean
