Temporary

[Prelude] Before the first breath, the ending awaits

Before forever, there is fate

Everything comes, everything goes

And time is the only one who knows

All of this is temporary,

Every kingdom, every crown,

We keep reaching as it falls

Like forever it ends up on the ground.

[Verse 1] Everything we touch will fade,

Every promise that we made,

Time collects what we create.

[Pre-Chorus] No matter what you think,

No matter what you say,

Nothing gets to stay this way.

[Chorus] All of this is temporary,

Every breath and every memory,

No matter what you say or do,

Time will take it all from you,

There is no forever—we're only passing through,

And that's the only thing that's true.

[Post-Chorus] Here today, gone tomorrow,

Borrowed joy and borrowed sorrow.

[Verse 2] Names are carved into the stone,

Still the stone won't last alone,

Even dust will lose its home.

[Pre-Chorus] No matter what you hold,

No matter what you save,

Everything returns someday.

[Chorus] All of this is temporary,

Every love and every enemy,

No matter what you build or prove,

Time will find a way to move,

There is no forever—we're only passing through,

And that's the only thing that's true.

[Post-Chorus] Seconds fall like shattered glass,

Nothing made was made to last.

[Bridge] We call it ours,

We call it fate,

We swear forever,

But forever doesn't wait.

The brightest fire,

The darkest blue,

Everything ends—

And we will too.

[Verse 3] Every shadow leaves the wall,

Every empire has to fall,

Nothing gets to keep it all.

[Pre-Chorus] No matter what you want,

No matter what you know,

Everything eventually goes.

[Chorus] All of this is temporary,

Every dream and all you do

No matter what you think is true,

Nothing here belongs to you,

There is no forever—we're only passing through,

And that's the only thing that's true.

[Post-Chorus] It will come and It will leave,

Forever's just a story we still believe.

[Outro] So hold it close before it's gone,

Nothing stays when time moves on,

No forever, for me or you—

Temporary is the only truth.
