Always Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Yeah, I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till 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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 'till the end of time

[Chorus]
Yeah, I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always

[Bridge]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
And I will love you, baby, always
And I'll be there forever and a day, always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till 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

[Outro]
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

Genius Annotation

“Always” is a power ballad by Bon Jovi. It is the opening track of the first greatest hits album Cross road, which was released in October 1994.

This song was originally meant to be the soundtrack for the 1993 film “Romeo Is Bleeding”, but the band decided not lend the song for the movie after having some distaste. Although the movie failed, Always left a high record on the international music chart, topping 5 of those.

This song seems to be influenced from “Romeo and Juliet” by Dire Straits and “Romeo Is Bleeding” by Tom Waits.
