Lyrics

How can you say the feeling's gone

Questioning how someone can claim that the emotions have vanished.

How can you tell me that we're no longer one

Questioning a statement about the relationship no longer being united.


How can you say you've been untrue

Asking how one can confess to being unfaithful.

Can you imagine the pain that i'm going through

Expressing the intensity of pain due to the situation.


You used to tell me your heart would be mine

Recalling past promises of eternal love and commitment.

Till the end of the world, till the end of all time

Reiterating the promise of everlasting love.


You said that we'd always be together

Recalling assurances of a lasting relationship.

You said that you'd never stop loving me

Remembering a pledge of continual affection.

You said a lifetime was what you were after

Recollection of a promise for a lifetime commitment.

I guess forever is not as long as it used to be

Realization that forever doesn't seem as enduring as promised.


How will i tell you that i'm still yours

Wondering how to convey the continued affection.

How will i stop you from walking out my door

Concern about preventing the other person from leaving.


How can you say you're not coming back

Asking how one can assert they won't return.

Can you imagine how much i'll miss your love

Emphasizing the magnitude of missing the departed love.


Oh,where did i go wrong

Reflecting on personal responsibility for the relationship's downturn.

All your emotions were so strong

Recalling the intensity of the partner's emotions.

I thought that they would last

Belief that the intense emotions would endure.

I never thought your love for me

Surprise at the unexpected decline in the partner's love.

Would fade so fast

Realization of the rapid fading of affection.


You said that we'd always be together

Repetition of assurances of eternal togetherness.

You said that you'd never set me free

Emphasizing the promise of never letting go.

You said we'd always care for each other

Assurance of mutual care.

I guess forever is not as long as it used to be

Realization that forever doesn't seem as enduring as promised (repeated sentiment).


You said that we'd always be together

Reiteration of the vow for eternal togetherness.

You said that you'd never stop loving me

Reiterating the promise of unceasing love.

You said a lifetime was what you were after

Recollection of the desire for a lifetime commitment.

I guess forever is not as long as it used to be

Reinforcement that forever doesn't seem as enduring as promised (repeated sentiment).

The feeling is not as strong as it used to be

Expressing the diminished strength of emotions compared to before.

Forever is not as long as it used to be

Reiteration that forever doesn't seem as enduring as promised (repeated sentiment).
