What's Forever For
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been looking at people and how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds
Maybe it's me who's gone crazy, Cause I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurting each other,
When good love is so hard to come by
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever, tell me what's Forever For?
I've been listening to people and they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I wanted to believe
I see love hungry people tryin' their best to survive,
When in their hands is a dying romance,
If they're not even tryin' to keep it alive
So, what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever, tell me what's Forever For?
