Thought that we would always stay together Bought the whole notion love lasts forever But in real life forever is a disaster There's no such thing as happy ever after... Cuz everything dies! Yes it's dark but that's the way we're heading Would you prefer a story with a different setting? Like a child, you might go on pretending Heaven is real and love is never ending But everything dies! Sometimes I'm still believing, Like no one here is leaving Sometimes I wish that glory Was more than just a story Sometimes I get a feeling, Wish for mercy and some healing And some warmth in mid-December, But the ice helps me remember That everything Dies! You might be on top with beauty and youth But give it some time your eyelids will droop The years will go by your puppies will die The pride of your life killed slowly by time.
