Lyrics

verse1

look at the shadows on the bedroom wall

we try to trace the lines of were we used to stand

but the warmth is slipping through the cracks of it all

like water falling from an open hand

I see the doubt that's hiding in your eyes

a quiet storm that's gathering inside

chorus

and it's hard to hold a match up to the freezing wind

when the fire keeps on dying out again

nothing stays the same beneath a heavy, changing sky

even stars must eventually lose their flame

and we're just trying to survive

this forever rain

verse2

time has been a thief, stealing what we knew

turning golden summers into grey and cold

I used to find my shelter here inside of you

now we're just two ghosts afraid of growing old

but forced affection never leaves a scar that heals

you cant ignite a heart that no longer feels

chorus

and it's hard to hold a match up to the freezing wind

when the fire keeps on dying out again

nothing stays the same beneath a heavy, changing sky

even stars must eventually lose their flame

and we're just trying to survive

this forever rain

bridge

but if we let it go, if we walk away

will we find the sun on the other side?

no one wants to break, no one wants to say

that we ran out of places left to hide

do you need some space? do you need some time?

to fix the pieces that I could not bind!

yeah, everybody needs a little time.. to heal the mind

guitar solo

outo vocal

your ot the only one!

who feels the weight of the damage done!

you're not the only one!

who watches love come undone!

don't let the darkness take it all away!

don't let the shadows turn the night into day!

we need the storm to wash away the pain!

Just let it fall!

forever rain!

yeah, the forever rain!

guitar solo
