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
