I’ve known you for a while now, you are a friend so true
And I knew that if we took our time, I’d give my heart to you
But still I have to wonder about a certain flame
Who left a scar upon your heart when you gave your love in vain

Will I be the winner, will you dream of only me
Or when you close your eyes at night to dream, is her’s the face you’ll see?
When thoughts flood your memory and memories haunt your mind
Will I be the winner, or will my heart be left behind?

You say that you don’t love her, and I’m your only one
But you can’t help but speak of her and the hurtin’ she has done
You say you want me for your own, but are you really sure
That you can close the past behind you, turn the key and lock the door?

Oh, will I be the winner, or will my heart be left behind?
