[Verse 1] I felt the moment rising in your eyes, A quiet truth beneath the shifting skies. We held the night like something meant to stay, But every heartbeat slowly slipped away. [Pre‑Chorus] You were close enough to almost touch, Far enough to never know. I tried to keep the light between us, But shadows always steal the glow. [Chorus] Forever but never, We’re tied to the feeling, not the tether. Lost in the space where we almost collide, Holding the echo of what we denied. Forever but never, A promise that drifts like a feather. Caught in the glow of a moment we made, Fading away as the daylight fades. (Motif) Forever… but never… [Interlude] Forever… never… forever… never… (Soft repeated motif as sung phrases) [Verse 2] I hear your voice inside the quiet rain, A fragile warmth beneath the cold terrain. We built a dream that couldn’t bear the weight, Still I return to where we hesitate. [Pre‑Chorus 2] You were close enough to change my fate, Far enough to stay unknown. I chased the lines we never finished, Now they echo in the undertone. [Chorus] Forever but never, We’re tied to the feeling, not the tether. Lost in the space where we almost collide, Holding the echo of what we denied. Forever but never, A promise that drifts like a feather. Caught in the glow of a moment we made, Fading away as the daylight fades. (Motif) Forever… but never… [Bridge] If time could bend, I’d find you there, Between the hope and the empty air. Where every truth we tried to sever Still whispers back: forever but never. [Final Chorus — Reprise] Forever but never, We’re tied to the feeling, not the tether. Lost in the space where we almost collide, Holding the echo of what we denied. (Motif — Outro) Forever… but never… Forever… but never…
