I built my life on "maybes" and "next times"
Terrified of forever, and all its hard lines
I had my escape routes carefully planned
A solitary figure in the shifting sand
But your love hit me like a silent dawn
Pulling up the anchors I was leaning on
Now I'm standing here, my defenses down
Looking at the future without a frown
Never say forever...
Never wanna ever... end this with you.
Never say never...
Cause my "never" turned into "always" with you.
It's a paradox I'm finally understanding
My carefully built walls are now disbanding
To say forever is against my nature, it's true
But my heart's screaming out that it only wants you.
I used to trace the edges of the exit signs
Finding safety in those bold, bright lines
But in the quiet comfort that you provide
I found a home where my fears can subside
You didn't break the walls, you just held the door
Showing me a life worth being vulnerable for
And now that scary word, so vast and so deep
Is the very promise I want to keep
Never say forever...
Never wanna ever... let this dream die.
Never say never...
Cause my "never" looks you right in the eye.
It's a paradox I'm finally understanding
My carefully built walls are now disbanding
To say forever is against my nature, it's true
But my heart's screaming out that it only wants you.
My mind says run, it's the only way
My heart says stay, oh, please make me stay
This war inside is finally done
When I look at you, you're the only one...
So I'll SAY forever!
Never wanna ever... be without you.
Forget "never"!
Cause my "always" begins and ends with you.
It's the truth my soul is finally claiming
This fire in my heart is brightly flaming
To say forever was against my nature, I knew...
But my heart won the war, 'cause it only wants you.
Never say forever...
(Now I'll say it with you)
Never wanna ever...
(No, I never do)
Never say never...
(My always is you)
