How in the hill did this begin
Like some cruel game we can't seem to win
It just goes on over and over againIt took the best outta you and me
I thought we swore we'd let this love rest in peace
Am I wrong
Didn't we part as friendsHow many lifetimes must we live through
'Til we're lookin' through the eyes of the truthWe are joined at the soul
With a heart that don't know how to let go
What does it mean when it don't mean a thing
When we say good-bye
But if life is unkind
And forever ain't a place we can find
We'll know how we've tried
And that forever's just a matter of timeSo much love, so much pain
No one to judge, no one to blame
It holds on
How desperate this need that remainsWe know the passion that leads us blind
'Cause the two of us are one of a kindWe are joined at the soul
With a heart that don't know how to let go
What does it mean when it don't mean a thing
When we say good-bye
But if life is unkind
And forever ain't a place we can find
We'll know how we've tried
And that forever's just a matter of timeTime after time we stumble and fall
Past the point of no return
God knows we've given so much more than our all
To this lesson we may never learnWe are joined at the soul
With a heart that don't know how to let go
What does it mean when it don't mean a thing
When we say good-bye
But if life is unkind
And forever ain't a place we can find
We'll know how we've tried
And that forever's just a matter of time
