What's Forever For Lyrics

I’ve been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I’ve been seeing of people
Throwing love away and losing their minds

Or maybe it’s me that’s gone crazy
‘Cause I can’t understand why
All these people keep hurting each other
Good love is so hard to come by

So what’s the glory in living?
Doesn’t anybody ever stay,
Together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever,
Tell me, what’s forever for?

Well I’ve been listening to people
And they say love is the key
It’s not my way to let them lead me astray
It’s only that I want to believe

But I see love hungry people
Trying their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they aren’t even trying to keep it alive

So what’s the glory in living?
Doesn’t anybody ever stay,
Together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever,
Tell me, what’s forever for?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me, what’s forever for?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song isn't a billy gilman original, but i still like it. it's meaning is self-explanitory: everyone seems to be throwing love away, and if love doesn't last forever, what's forever for?

billy has an awesome voice, but i could've mistaken him for a girl in this CD. =] still awesome though.
