Story Behind The Song
A girl in my life wouldn't give up hope that we would be together again. There was no, is no, and will never be a good reason to do that. It would be unhealthy for the both of us.

Lyrics
all the times I waited on you
they were worth every second
though you never saw a thing that I wanted you to
it was worth every second
and even though it's not by you, I am loved
and even though it's not by you, I am understood
and all the times we fought
were worth every second
though you never sought to dry my tears
it was worth every second
and even though it's not by me, I am loved
and even though it's not by me, I am understood
and all this time you wanted me back,
was worth every second
'cause though you had your change,
you won't get a second
so don't worry about me 'cause now I love myself
and that's sure something you've never understood.
