Ashes of Forever

I built a future in the space between your hands I drew

a map of us across a hundred different lands

Tom, I looked at you and saw the end of time A

steady rhythm in a world that had lost its rhyme I never

questioned if the ground beneath would hold I thought we’d be the

story that never got too old

I thought our love would last for eternity

A sanctuary built for only you and me

I thought we had a bond that nothing could break

But you traded our forever for a single mistake

Now I’m standing in the ashes of the plans we made

Watching my eternity slowly start to fade

They say forever is a promise,

not a place But I swear I saw it living right there

on your face

Before the stranger, before the blinding pain Before we left our golden

days out in the pouring rain

Now you carry all the guilt for what you threw away But

your regret can't bring me back to yesterday

How does a lifetime vanish in a single night?

How does a shadowed moment swallow up the light?

You say you'd take it back,

you say you'd change the past

But I’m the one who has to mourn a love that didn't

last

The "always" that we promised turned into a lie And I'm still

standing here, asking myself why 'Cause I thought our love would last

for eternity

A sanctuary built for only you and me

I thought we had a bond

that nothing could break

But you traded our forever for a single mistake

Now I’m standing in the ashes of the plans we made

Watching my eternity slowly start to fade

I really thought we had it all.

I thought we were the ones who wouldn't fall.

Just an illusion in the end.

My missing piece, my lover,

and my friend.

Now it's just a memory.

A shattered

eternity.
