Forever is a Distance - Zazz

I think, I understand The reason you won't stay with me You think a ring upon your hand Will solve your insecurity So go ahead and play your games If that's what you must do Nothing here remains the same But the way I feel for you I can watch you walk away And I know that I'll get by And I know just what to say But honey, I can't tell a lie Figure out what you must do Because you think you're so damn clever You can marry anytime you want But a lover is forever I can watch you walk away And I know that I'll get by And I know just what to say But honey, I can't tell a lie Figure out what you must do Because you think you're so damn clever You can marry anytime you want But a lover is forever You can marry anytime you want But a lover is forever

I spent a long time Watering a plant made out of plastic And I curse the ground for growing green I spent a long time Substituting honest with sarcastic And I curse my tongue for being mean Weightless, breathless restitute Motionless and absolute He cut me open Sucked the poison from an aging wound Now fifty thousand war cadets Would cower at this small brunette To my surprise, not six feet high Would reach and grab the moon if I should ask Or just imply that I wanted a bit more light So I could look inside his eyes And get the colors just right Just right, just right Just But love built, God built provinces Build calluses, break promises 'Cause I could never hold a perfect thing And not demolish it What am I thinking? What does this mean? How could somebody ever love me? Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news comin'

This whole thing started so that fathers could sell daughters like property But I never had a father, and I couldn't be his daughter, so lucky me The only thing I'm sellin' are songs But nobody buys those no more Marriage is a contract 'cause they know that it's another liability You cut through my legs, through my heart just to get another piece of me (piece of me) The only thing I'm servin' are facts But nobody wants those no more Hey See, the thing about forever Is that it's a fucking lie But I'll love you for tonight Say with time that it gets better And that's such a fucking lie But I'll love you for tonight, oh I've been tryna wean myself off people who are heteronormative And we should be arrested 'cause we're saying words like that in pop music The only things I'm sayin' are facts But nobody wants those no more Sorry that I'm bein' emo, oh Hey, oh, oh See, the thing about forever Is that it's a fucking lie But I'll love you for tonight Say with time that it gets better And that's such a fucking lie But I'll love you for tonight I'll love you, love you, love you for tonight (love you for tonight) I'll love you, love you, love you for tonight (love you for tonight) I'll love you, love you, love you for tonight But I can't promise tomorrow
