lyrics

2. Won’t Last Forever (Lyrics by Graham Bacher)
So here we are, I knew we’d get here by and by
Now everything you dreamed of has changed in time
And there you’ll sit, a silhouette of the divine
A perfect glimpse that won’t last forever

What more could I need?....

So self-assured, I know it must feel so sublime
To dismiss your thoughts so easily
But when you say it doesn’t matter if you try
Was it failure that made up your mind?

What more should I see?

With the hopes and the reasons that we keep inside
For the innocent daydreams that we have always denied
I can’t stand to say I won’t take anymore-
I don’t want to run away, but do you?

I don’t want to run away
I never meant to lose myself
I don’t want to seem to change

(if we could see what we have been)
I never meant to lose myself

When you look at the future do you see me standing there?
If I don’t have some bright solution, then would you even care?
Today I tried to disappear
Today I lost myself and gave into my fears
Today I almost disappeared
It won’t happen again (would you care?)

(if we could see what’s happening)
I never meant to lose myself
