Forever and now
you fill my mind,
still carry the heart
you left behind.
Memories dusted and grey
like locked away pieces of art,
tears stream down my face
‘cause your love I cannot replace.
I promised you then,
I would promise you now,
I will love you the same
when you're gone,
I couldn't make you stay.
Stare into the future
a shadow of my old self.
So lonely and scared,
so unprepared.
I thought our love would survive
through time and through pain,
nothing will ever mean the same.
I promised you then,
I would promise you now,
I will love you the same
when you're gone,
I couldn't make you stay,
couldn't make you stay
couldn't make you stay
couldn't make you stay.
I feel your breath on my skin,
gently you hold me tight.
I open my eyes
you're no longer by my side.
Promised you then,
I would promise you now,
I will love you the same,
but you're gone,
gone away,
couldn't make you stay
couldn't make you stay.
You're gone,
I couldn't make you stay.
