The Lie Of Forever
For Sway2. You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel.Yousaid forever but didn't mean that long.
You said forever but you got it wrong.
I said forever and I never lied.
I meant for every day till I died.
I've been picking up the pecies you left behind.
I've been glueing together my heart and mind.
Then you say one word and youblow it apart.
One word to peel ribbons of flesh off my heart.
I don't want to know about how she makes you feel.
It adversly effects my ability to heal.
You say shes not like me and won't ever upset you,
but would she kill every feelingshe hadto forget you?
Soon is a metaphor. A metaphor for never.
A phase is a lie. A phase means forever.
You'll love me again soon (that's what you said).
That she's just a phase (that will last till your dead).
She's blown you over. I won't be blown.
She blows your mind. I blow up my own.
And the saddest rule, that's been around since the start,
is that I can't seem to die from a broken heart.
You said forever but you got it wrong.
I said forever and I never lied.
I meant for every day till I died.
I've been picking up the pecies you left behind.
I've been glueing together my heart and mind.
Then you say one word and youblow it apart.
One word to peel ribbons of flesh off my heart.
I don't want to know about how she makes you feel.
It adversly effects my ability to heal.
You say shes not like me and won't ever upset you,
but would she kill every feelingshe hadto forget you?
Soon is a metaphor. A metaphor for never.
A phase is a lie. A phase means forever.
You'll love me again soon (that's what you said).
That she's just a phase (that will last till your dead).
She's blown you over. I won't be blown.
She blows your mind. I blow up my own.
And the saddest rule, that's been around since the start,
is that I can't seem to die from a broken heart.
