I know you've heard the excuses before
So I won't waste your time and I'll keep this short
I've bound my emotions cause I can't afford to be wrong
I know we've talked about being good friends
So we've been real careful of the signals we've sent
But all of your glances they came and they
went to my head

And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind
When I said "I loved you" that's what I meant
And I plan to show you if it take me the
rest of my life
The rest of my life
Rest of my life

I don't want to rush this cause my greatest fear
Is taking for granted what's taken us years
To build from the ground up with all of the tears that we've cried
We've taken our time and for this I'm so glad
Now we can be sure that this moment will last
We've traveled a road of mistakes 
in our past to get here

And I'm not about to throw words to the wind
Whe I said "I love you" that's what I meant
And I'm going to show you if it takes me
the rest of my life
The rest of my life
The rest of my life

And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind
When I said "I love you" well that's what I meant
and I plan to show you if it takes me 
the rest of my life
