Forever Was Never Enough

[Verse 1]

Wild hearts run free

Chasing the butterflies

Through gaps in the trees

We were nothing but heroes with paint on our faces

And capes made from curtains and jeans

Dad said ask mum

Cause there was a party down

At Julia’s house

Yeah we were just 14, but 14 was cool

Like we both had it all figured out

[Chorus]

I never thought that we’d say our goodbyes

Since you’ve been gone, everything’s black and white

Like old photographs, we’d be frozen in time

And we promised to always be us

But forever was never enough

(oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]

Bonfires at dark

Felt like it used to be

Us under the stars

But all of the ashes that we used to be

They all burnt to the ground from a spark

[Chorus]

I never thought that we’d say our goodbyes

Since you’ve been gone, everything’s black and white

Like old photographs, we’d be frozen in time

And we promised to always be us

But forever was never enough

(oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]

It’s not fair

Why did you leave so soon

Promised that you’d be here

Thought it would be for good

[Chorus]

(I never) I never thought that we’d say our goodbyes

Since you’ve been gone, everything’s black and white

Like old photographs, we’d be frozen in time

And we promised to always be us

But forever was never

I never thought that we’d say our goodbyes

But I’ll keep the memories and all the good times

So I thank the world you came into my life

You promised to always be us

Guess forever was never enough
