From where I stand I wonder if there is a better option at all Sitting here wishing we were 17 When we could blame our age or our experience or the drugs, man when now we can't even look at each other You didn't peel back your skin and show me how your blood flows because I didn't ask you to You never told me you would never leave me because I didn't want to know You never promised forever because we agreed That forever is a concept humans created To comfort themselves from the inevitability of death, and decay Silently i promised you forever Because for me forever is a moment that you can't get back, Forever is knowing that what you have now is all you'll ever have, As far as we are concerned Forever is inside me, Forever is not a promise, it's a warning
