Forever is never real
Emotionally I'm beginning to deal
With the truth that love does end
Perhaps the world shouldn't pretend

In the past those who have loved you
Have inevitably let you go
Those bonds now broken
Because forever isn't so

In the present it is I
Who holds you close at night
Who's lips I kiss sweetly
Who's heart I grip tight

But if forever isn't so
I'd like your future lover to know
How lucky she is to be
If upon her your heart's bestowed

Please inform her to be grateful
Please tell her I said so
Because to hold a man like you
Is the greatest feeling I've ever known

But don't forget to warn her
Forever my dear isn't true
And in a short time she won't
Be able to love you

Because forever isn't forever
And love never lasts
I rue the day when I become
A lover from your past
