I'll be the one

That stays 'till the end

And I'll be the one

That needs you again

And I'll be the one that proposes

In a garden of roses

And truly loves you long after our curtain closes.

But will you still love me

When nobody wants me around

When I turn 81 and forget things

Will you still be proud?

Cause I am the one

That waited this long

And I am the one

That might get it wrong

And I'll be the one

That will love you

The way I'm supposed to, girl.

But will you still love me

When nobody wants me around, around

When I turn 81 and forget things

Will you still be proud?

Proud of me, of my short list of accomplishments

Me and my lack of new news

Me and my selfishness

Or me and myself wish you nothing but a happy new version of you

Cause I, I, i...

I want you to tell me you find it hard to be yourself so I can say,"It's gonna be alright."

And I want you to love me the way you love your family, the way you love to show me what it's like to be happy.
