This Is My Life

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 love you" that's what I meant

And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life



The rest of my life

The 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 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 her



And I'm not about to throw words to the wind

When 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
