The Ballad
Ear Ringers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What took so long
It took so many years of my life
To find the one

The thought of you
Never escapes my mind or my heart
You know it's true
I don't want to hear your goodbye
Your kiss makes me feel so alive
And I'm so blessed to say that you're mine
I'm complete with just you by my side

It's you and me
You were my last missing puzzle piece
Now I'm complete
I take a knee
Baby, please won't you marry me
I'm done waiting

I don't want to hear your goodbye
Your kiss makes me feel so alive
And I'm so blessed to say that you're mine
I'm complete with just you by my side

I don't want to hear your goodbye
Your kiss makes me feel so alive
And I'm so blessed to say that you're mine
I'm complete with just you by my side




By my side (ooo)
By my side
