Lyrics

Forever?

There is no Forever, Only

Always! (always)

[Verse 1]
You said forever like it meant a thing
But I was counting every ring
You kissed the moment, let it slide
While I was ticking right beside

[Verse 2]
You chased the thrill, you chased the high
But never asked me why I fly
I’m not your friend, I’m not your flame
I’m just the silence in your name

[pre-Chorus]
I don’t rewind, I don’t forgive
I only move so you can live

[Chorus]
The clock doesn’t care who you are
It won’t wait beneath your scars
If love was real, then let it show
Before I take the time you owe

[SOLO]

[Verse 3]
You begged for more, you begged for grace
But I was gone without a trace
I’m not the past, I’m not the plan
I’m just the hourglass in hand

[Bridge]
So hold them close, say what you mean
Before I wipe the in-between
You’re not too late, but not too far
Just one more beat beneath the stars

[Chorus]
The clock doesn’t care what you do
It only knows what’s left of you
If love was real, then let it burn
Before I say it’s not your turn

[Verse 4]
You said forever like it meant a thing
But I was counting every ring
You kissed the moment, let it slide
While I was ticking right beside

[Verse 5]
You chased the thrill, you chased the high
But never asked me why I fly
I’m not your friend, I’m not your flame
I’m just the silence in your name

[pre-Chorus]
I don’t rewind, I don’t forgive
I only move so you can live

[Chorus]
The clock doesn’t care who you are
It won’t wait beneath your scars
If love was real, then let it show
Before I take the time you owe

[Verse 6]
You begged for more, you begged for grace
But I was gone without a trace
I’m not the past, I’m not the plan
I’m just the hourglass in hand

[Bridge]
So hold them close, say what you mean
Before I wipe the in-between
You’re not too late, but not too far
Just one more beat beneath the stars

[Final Chorus]
The clock doesn’t care what you do
It only knows what’s left of you
If love was real, then let it burn
Before I say it’s not your turn
