Forever is a long, long time
Close to two years ago
 I was just sweet sixteen
 and you were just the same
 
 I was already in love with you
 Don’t deny it to be true, you knew, you knew
 And I believed you couldn’t care less about me, about us
 But you changed my mind, you changed my mind, you changed my mind
 with one single word, one lasting word
 Forever
 
 Don’t you know forever is a long, long time?
 Don’t you know you can’t promise a girl forever without her never letting go?
 Don’t you know forever is a long, long time?
 Don’t you know you can’t promise a girl forever without her never letting go?
 
 I remember how we were with such fondness
 I remember you whispering you’d stare at my beautiful face as you make love to me
 It was all so sincere
 It was all so surreal
 It was all so sweetly done
 It was almost as if it was in my dreams
 
 You promised me forever
 and I promised you my heart
 You promised you would take me
 and I promised you could have me
 You promised you’d never give up
 and I promised I’d never give up
 We promised, what did we promise? Only promises
 
 Don’t you know forever is a long, long time?
 Don’t you know you can’t promise a girl forever without her never letting go?
 Don’t you know forever is a long, long time?
 Don’t you know you can’t promise a girl forever without her never letting go?
 
 Now you look back on that as a complex mess maybe you half regret
 and I look back on that as a pathetic lovestruck teenager
 And maybe you look back on it as you were scared
 and I look back on it as fear is the heart of love
 
 Now I see nothing in you
 I see nothing in you
 Two years went by and you see nothing in me
 
 What happened to us?
 from the past
 I like that us from the past
 I love that us from the past
 I want that us to be us now instead of…
 
 I can let go, I can give up
 We can let go, We can give up
 because
 We never gave anything to each other
 We never gave anything to each other
 We never gave anything to each other
