Forever Is Too Long
We both knew this day was coming and still it turns us inside out
I’ll never try to tell ya what love is all about
You either have it or you don’t, it’s either working or it won’t
And it won’t help us now to scream and shout
Our hearts don’t need any more bruises
No one ever wins and someone always loses
I’m all out of things to say to try to make you smile
And forever is just too long a time
I can only get as close to you as you are to yourself
Why you hangin round me anyway if it’s hard on your health
You know a kind word can sure go a long way sometimes
And a smile or two won’t even cost you a dime
But there’s just no more want to in your eyes
And we just sit here paralyzed
I wish we could have frozen time back when love was in its prime
But forever that’s just too long a time
Too long a time
Our hearts don’t need any more bruises
No one ever wins and someone always loses
I wish we could have frozen time when love was in its prime
But forever is just too long a time
Yeah forever is just too long a time
It’s too long a time
