James Morrison Forever lyrics

Well, my ma used to say
Find a nice girl, it'll all work out
And my daddy used to say
If you can't do what you feel, son, just walk out

But they don't know a thing about us
We're wild and free
But freedom ain't such a good thing
When you tell me to leave

Why'd you do a thing like that?
I'm begging of you, won't you take me back
Even if everything we see is black
There's still a chance that we can make it back

I said that it's forever, forever's what I mean
I look at you forever, forever's all I see

I can take the blows
But you punch a little low and it hurts me bad
Of course I feel the love
That should be enough but you don't play fair

I wanna hear the sweet, sweet music of your apology
But you just say sorry that you ever set your eyes on me

Why do you do a thing like that?
I'm begging of you, won't you take me back
Even if everything we see is black
There's still a chance that we can make it back


I said that it's forever, forever's what I mean
I look at you forever, forever's all I see

Cross the line to dream of golden skies
I see the door you close behind your eyes
Break it down, break it down, break it down

Forever, forever's what I need
When I look at you, forever, forever's all I see
I wanted to be close, it's what I miss the most
I ain't ever felt so low when you spit me right out

Why'd you do a thing like that?
I'm begging of you, won't you take me back
Even if everything we see is black
There's still a chance that we can make it back

I'm telling you
Why'd you do a thing like that?
I'm begging of you won't you take me back
Even if everything we see is black
There's still a chance that we can make it back

I said that it's forever, forever's what I see
I look at you forever, forever's all I see
