forever only lasts a little while

when it’s cold and you’re falling flat
you don’t don’t have to get old to be wise to that
so hide behind your smile
forever only lasts a little while

when it’s bad and you’re feeling worse
when the insults and injuries come in spurts
though the irony is vile
forever only lasts a little while

and someday this will be
just one more game you’ve played
and someday you will see
mistakes we all have made
it’s no mystery
it’s both side of the blade
watching history repeat

and it’s never gonna change
and it’s always changing
and it never stays the same
and forever will remain

enough
and it breaks your heart
and it’s too tough to stop it when you can’t start
and it’s one more endless mile
and it’s cramping up your style
forever only lasts a little while
