Forever Was Never Enough

Wild hearts, run free

Chasing the butterflies

Through gaps in the trees

We were nothing but heroes with paint on our faces

And capes made from curtains and jeans

Dad said ask mum

'Cause there was a party down at Julia's house

Yeah, we were just fourteen but fourteen was cool

Like we both had it all figured out

I never thought that we'd say our goodbyes

Since you've been gone, everything's black and white

Like old photographs, we'd be frozen in time

And we promised to always be us

But forever was never enough

Oh

Ah

Bonfires at dark

Felt like it used to be

Us under the stars

But all of the ashes that we used to be

They all burnt to the ground from a spark

I never thought that we'd say our goodbyes

Since you've been gone, everything's black and white

Like old photographs, we'd be frozen in time

And we promised to always be us

But forever was never enough

Oh

Ah

It's not fair

Why did you leave so soon

Promised that you'd be here

Thought it would be for good

(I never) I never thought that we'd say our goodbyes

Since you've been gone, everything's black and white

Like old photographs, we'd be frozen in time

And we promised to always be us

But forever was never enough

I never thought that we'd say our goodbyes

But I'll keep the memories and all the good times

So I thank the world you came into my life

You promised to always be us

Guess forever was never enough
