Somewhere tonight a woman cries alone.
Broken vows from the love that has gone wrong.
Her dreams and plans lay shattered on the floor.
Forever ain't that long anymore.

Just down the street he tries to wave goodbye.
His world has been destoyed because her love has died.
He watched as she just walked out the door.
Forever ain't that long anymore.

-CHORUS-
With the best of intentions, their hearts believed,
That it would last for all eternity.
Oh, the despair when love turns to war.
Forever ain't that long anymore.

When the fighting and the healing is through,
Forgetting's not that easy when they start anew.
They'll try love again just like they did before.
Forever ain't that long anymore.

With the best of intentions, their hearts believed,
That it would last for all eternity.
Oh, the despair when love turns to war.
Forever ain't that long anymore.

Oh the despair when love turns to war
Forever ain't that long anymore..

Forever ain't that long anymore.
