Forever
The Dooleys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you found a new love
I'm asking you to choose
'Cause the words won't come easy
My goodbye to you forgive me for crying
The tears help me hide
Just how lonely, I'm sorry
I'm feeling inside

For now you found a new love
I won't stand in your way
If she makes you happy
I won't ask you to stay
It's no use pretending when you wanna go
But I love you forever
And I want you to know

Each lonely night i think of the time
When I will see you again so if you decide
To swallow your pride
Come make me easy, my friend

So if you should want me i'm easily home
When you're lonely just call me
'Cause I'll be alone forever forever
Forever forever
Forever forever

Forever forever
Forever
