lyrics

Nothing’s
Ever
What you once thought that it would be,

But when it all comes down,
You’ll see,
It’s better than your greatest childhood dream.

And love it came for me
As I was fadin’ in the edge of the night—
Blinded by that dream.
It took time to realize after she arrived
It was a face I’d never seen.

Now I’m thinking it over—
The more I see, the more I know it’s true.
I’m thinking it over—
To let that dream die’s the only way back to you.

Nothing’s
Ever
What you once thought that it would be.

But when it all comes down,
You’ll see,
It’s harsher than your darkest memory.

And love it slipped from me
As I was blinded in the absence of light—
All things from within.
It took time to realize after it escaped,
It was the life I’d dreamed to live.

Now I’m thinking it over—
The more I see, the more I know it’s true.
I’m thinking it over—
To let him thrive’s the only way back to you.

The more I see it’s over,
The more I know it’s true—
I have to fight desire
To crawl my way back to you.
