He told you all you wanted to hear
Whispered poison in your ear
If you’re looking, you can see right through it
But nothing ever comes easy
But I’ll be waiting here for you

Not letting go, a promise on the edge, pulling you close
Holding on to never, like the song at the end of a show
Forever’s not a long time, forever’s not a long time
Forever’s only never letting go

Set the hook and pulled you in
The tractor beam begins to spin
When time stands still, we can see right through it
No, nothing ever comes easy
And I’ll be waiting here for you

Not letting go, a promise on the edge, pulling you close
Holding on to never, like the song at the end of a show
Forever’s not a long time, forever’s not a long time
Forever’s only never letting go

A second chance is all we need
One more dance with two left feet
And I’ll hold you close so nothing comes between us
Nothing ever comes easy
I’ll be waiting here for you

Not letting go, a promise on the edge, pulling you close
Holding on to never, like the song at the end of a show
Forever’s not a long time, forever’s not a long time
Forever’s not a long time, forever’s not a long time
Forever’s only never letting go
