Nobody Lives Forever Lyrics

It's raining here in Manhattan
It's coming down and as we're reborn
It's raining on my [Incomprehensible] parade
It's moving like a shot in the dark

There's nobody answering the prayer that I'd say
Guess I'll just live for today
One thing I know is I'm not coming back
Nobody lives forever

I'm looking for something to live for
I'm thinking 'bout it all of the time
I just want something I can believe in
I need something that I can call mine

There's nobody listening to words that I say
Tell them to live for today
One thing I know is I'm not coming back
Nobody lives forever, nobody lives forever

This I know
Life is stronger
No tomorrow

There's nobody answering the prayers that I say
Guess I'll just live for today
One thing I know is I'm not coming back
Nobody lives forever, nobody lives forever

Nobody lives forever
Nobody lives forever
Nobody lives forever

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.
