This Forever

You can’t do it alone 

it’s too heavy to hold 

but we can do it 

forever

 

everyone has gone 

I’m taking you home

we face the dark 

together 

 

there was a time before 

everyone gave you love 

you thought it would 

go on forever

 

that time’s gone 

you wonder why

you’re alone 

calling stars with no answer

 

I’m here and you’re there 

we talk about everything else 

knowing in our hearts 

what matters 

 

don’t know what we did 

those years came fast 

and disappeared now 

we hold onto this forever
