Karaoke version of Evermore
Lyrics to Evermore by Mikey Bustos x Catherine Ricafort
CHERISH
Can’t be without you
And the world will try to divide us, and
I know you saw what we could have been, so
You can’t tell me that I am wrong
Can’t breathe without you
And the line you draw divides us, and
If we are the only thing that makes me feel like this, then
How am I supposed to move on?
But I believe that you and me
Will someday find our happy ending
I believe in evermore, with you forevermore, baby
And I believe that you and me
Will somehow find a new beginning
I believe in evermore
with you forevermore baby with you
With you
CHRISTIAN
On the inside…
this is my life…
I’m not going nowhere…
stay on the outside
please don’t care about me…
CHERISH
Don’t try to fight it
You can fight the world but you can’t fight me,
you protect yourself and set me free . . but
how will you carry on
You can’t deny it
I feel your heartbeat next to mine . . oh
I know it’s just gonna take some time . . but
together we can be strong
but I believe
that you and me
could one day find our happy ending
I believe in evermore
with you forevermore, baby
and I believe
that you and me
will one day have our new beginning
I believe in evermore
baby forevermore, with you with you…
CHERISH
There is hope in the world, you just gotta believe it
Say there is, say there is no other
All my life I’ve been waiting for you ….
and now
The wait is over
CHRISTIAN
On the inside, this is my life
I’m not goin nowhere . . .
Stay on the outside
Please forget about me….
On the inside, this is my life
I’m not goin nowhere . . .
Stay on the outside
Please don’t care about me..
Please forget about me…
Please don’t care about me..
Please forget about me…
CHERISH
one day we’ll find our happy ending
one day we’ll find our happy ending
one day we’ll find our happy ending
one day we’ll find our happy end.

~chorus
stuck up in the past and i can’t think straight,
filling up my cup with Hennessy,
trying to figure out where the hell i went wrong,
and why you’re gone, why i’m alone
and why the hell i feel the need to write this song
~she told me that she really was a fan of me,
but she wasn’t a fan of when i leave,
i told her, baby i’m living out my dream,
she said, what about me?
huh? huh? what about me?
but i’m doing this for us, baby trust,
i’ma get a car, and a mansion and plus,
she stopped me there with her hand in there
said, i don’t care about any of that stuff, so if you want it then that’s fine
but i don’t wanna spend your money and i hope you know that i just wanna spend some time,
i said i know,
and we will when i get back home,
and she said no we won’t,
you’ll be out with your boys or in the studio,
damn you know me,
you know me too well,
damn you know me,
more than i know myself
and now she’s gone,
and i’m alone,
i lost a fan,
but i’m still cold
~laying in a bed that i’ve never been in,
for the same old reason,
then a woman starts knocking on the door,
she says, “housekeeping”
i tell her that i’m good, but really “inside” i’m not,
my “room’s” a mess and i, can’t seem to clean this “spot,”
i need a new towel cuz i threw it in,
gave up on everything her and i could’ve been,
but my “covers” still clean cuz i’m good at hiding things
and i hope my fans don’t get to see this side of me,
gear up for the stage, time for the show,
rock the crowd, and then i’m gone,
check out at noon, catch my flight,
get back to town, where’s my ride?
wait, where’s my ride,
wait, where’s my ride,
gotta call a cab,
she’s not outside
cuz now she’s gone,
and i’m alone,
i lost a fan,
but i’m still cold
