Jon Bon Jovi · This Left Feels Right: Greatest Hits With a Twist

This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up.

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up.

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby that's just me.

And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
I'll 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 I'll 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 good bye.

What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've 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
I'll wish I was him, that his words were mine
To say to you till the end of time.

That I will love you baby always
And I'll 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
There's no price I won't 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
We'll find a place where the sun still shines.

And I will love you baby always
And I'll be there forever and a day always
I'll 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 I'll love you always.

Always

Always stands as one of Jon Bon Jovi's most enduring power ballads, showcasing his signature blend of rock intensity and emotional vulnerability. Originally released on the 1994 album Keep the Faith, the track became a defining moment in his discography, cementing his status as a staple of mainstream rock radio. The song's sweeping melody and heartfelt delivery reflect the polished production style that characterized the band's work during the mid-1990s. As a centerpiece of the compilation This Left Feels Right: Greatest Hits With a Twist, it remains a testament to Bon Jovi's ability to craft anthems that resonate across generations. The recording continues to be a fan favorite, frequently performed live to evoke the same powerful connection that made it a classic upon its initial release.
