Jon Bon Jovi - Always Lyrics

This romeo is bleeding
But you cant see his blood
Its nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

Its been raining since you left me
Now I’m drowning in the flood
You see Ive always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I cant sing a love song
Like the way its meant to be
Well, I guess I’m not that good anymore
But baby, thats just me

And I will love you, baby - always
And Ill be there forever and a day - always
Ill 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 Ill love you - always

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 Id give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
Ive made mistakes, I’m just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you’ve been needing to hear
Ill wish I was him cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - always
And Ill be there forever and a day - always

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
Theres no price I wont pay
To say these words to you

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
Well find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - always
And Ill be there forever and a day - always
Ill 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 Ill love you - always

Jon Bon Jovi - Always Review and Song Info

The song was originally written for the soundtrack to the film Romeo Is Bleeding, but after seeing (and disliking) the movie, the band decided not to lend the song to the producers.
Jon left the track on his shelf and forgot about it, until a friend found the track and convinced him to release it on the band’s Cross Road album.
The music video featured aspiring actress Keri Russell, and actor Jack Noseworthy along with Carla Gugino and Jason Wiles.

“Always” is a love ballad about a man who is deeply in love with a woman who does not return his affections. Speaking about the song in concert in 2004, Jon Bon Jovi said, “So many people have taken this song and really felt like ‘awww it’s so romantic, it’s so wonderful’, but truthfully, this guy’s practically a stalker, he’s a sick human being…. so I’m glad that you guys see the glass as half full“.

This is another video, a rare version with the band only.
