We thought we had it all
We thought we’d go unscathed
We thought our love
Would border on infinity
We thought that we were free
The world would disappear
We left ourselves wide open
And we had no fear

Chorus:
But forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time
And made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
And now time is standing still
Forever

Lying next to you
But you’re already gone
Too much has been said
And it can’t be undone
It’s so hard to comprehend
When ashes fade to dust
A touch of water
And the iron turns to rust

Chorus:
So forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time
And made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
And now time is standing still
Forever came and went

We thought we had it all
We thought we’d go unscathed
We thought our love
Would border on infinity
But forever was ashamed
It stole a little piece of us
To live up to its name
Was really just too much

Chorus:
Forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time
And made a mess of me and you

So forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time
And made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
And now time is standing still
Forever came and went
