Forever
papa roach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the brightest hour of my darkest day
I realized what is wrong with me
Can't get over you
Can't get through to you
It's been a helter skelter romance from the start

Take these memories that are haunting me
Of a paper man cut into shreds by his own pair of scissors
He'll never forgive her
He'll never forgive her

Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever

Sitting by a fire on a lonely night
Hanging over from another good time
With another girl, little dirty girl
You should listen to this story of a life

You're my heroine in this moment I'm lonely
Fulfilling my darkest dreams
All these drugs, all these women
I'm never forgiven, this broken heart of mine

Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss, before I go
Dry your tears, it is time to let you go
One last kiss
One last kiss, before I go
Dry your tears, it is time to let you go

Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go, but my feelings for you are forever

One last kiss, before I go
Dry your tears, it is time to let you go
One last kiss, before I go




Dry your tears, it is time to let you go
One last kiss
