Forever Lyrics
We thought it had it all
We thought we'd go unscathed
We thought our love would border on infinity
We thought that we were free
The world would disappear
We left ourselves wide open and we had no fear
But forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever
Lying next to you
But you're already gone
Too much has been said and it can't be undone
It's so hard to comprehend
When ashes fade to dust
I touch your water and the iron turns to dust
So forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever came and went
We thought it had it all
We thought we'd go unscathed
We thought our love would border on infinity
Forever was a shame
Stole a little piece of us
To live up to it's name was just really too
Forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever came and went
Oh I thought we had it all
Oh oh oh I thought we had it all, every day until the end
You & me, oh.
We thought we'd go unscathed
We thought our love would border on infinity
We thought that we were free
The world would disappear
We left ourselves wide open and we had no fear
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever
But you're already gone
Too much has been said and it can't be undone
It's so hard to comprehend
When ashes fade to dust
I touch your water and the iron turns to dust
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever came and went
We thought we'd go unscathed
We thought our love would border on infinity
Forever was a shame
Stole a little piece of us
To live up to it's name was just really too
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever came and went
Forever stumbled through
Forever had poor sense of time and made a mess of me and you
Forever had us fooled
We fell for it again
Now time is standing still forever came and went
Oh I thought we had it all
Oh oh oh I thought we had it all, every day until the end
You & me, oh.

its pretty self explainitory but is it coming from past experience, did like her and taye go through hard times or something
I remember at her concert a few years ago she performed this song. When she introduced it, she laughed about the depressing nature of this song. She said it wasn't really about anything, she just sort of started writing and came up with this. Of course, Taye was there in the audience (he was actually only like ten feet from where I was sitting... GAH! :D) so it's possible that it was from experience but she didn't want to bring it up with him watching. I believe her though, because I've written poems before that sound really depressing just because...

I believe her though, because I've written poems before that sound really depressing just because it was fun and the words came easily. I think that's all this was.
