The Forever I Thought We Had

(Verse 1) I used to laugh at fairy tales Called "ever after" just a lie A comfortable and lonely shell I never thought I'd leave behind Then your love came like a sudden dawn And painted colors in my grey You built me up, you made me strong And I believed you'd always stay (Chorus) I love you more than anything my hands have ever held I love you more than my own life, a story to be told My love for you is forever, I swore it was the same But then you said the words that sent a tremor through my frame (Verse 2) You said you "loved me as a friend" A casual and gentle end The quiet echo of a flame That once roared wild, now just a name The "in love" part had slipped away Like autumn leaves, it couldn't stay And in that moment, cold and clear My greatest joy became my fear (Chorus) I love you more than anything my hands have ever held I love you more than my own life, a story to be told My love for you is forever, I swore it was the same But then you said the words that sent a tremor through my frame (Bridge) You were the proof, the living breath That conquered my fear of death You were the "always," you were the "real" A love designed for all to feel But I was wrong, a fool again Chasing the sun into the rain Another dream I held too tight That shattered in the pale moonlight (Chorus) I love you more than anything my hands have ever held! I love you more than my own life, a story to be told! My love for you is forever, I honestly thought yours was the same... Then you told me you were no longer in love, and it felt like a friend's name... (Outro) More than life itself... I was sorely mistaken. I failed... miserably. And the forever I believed in... Was just a moment, passing by.
