Forever Is Just A Figure Of Speech

I meant forever
But not today

I meant till the end of time
But I need to be alone for a day

I meant I'd love you till I'm dead
But we just can't be together

I said ill never leave you
But I've got to leave it all

I told you I'd never break your heart
But I have to fix my own first

I said I'd never give up
But I've already lost

I said I'd love no other
But I stay loving no one

I said to just believe
But I live in all lies

I said I'd make you happy
But I can't smile if I tried

I said I'd love you forever
Any day but today

I said I'd write about you in the book of my life
But all you are is one sentence

To the girl I love
Not today

I told you I won't ever play a game
But that's the only way ill win

I said I'd never hurt you
But I only feel pain

I told you my love can warm your heart
But mine is as frozen as ice

I said you could be different
But I'm just like them

I told you I'd always protect you
But I'm the on who wants to hurt you the most

This wasn't for you. It wasn't for anyone really. I need to fix you, but you have to fix me first.
