Well it started with a little grain of sand
Or gravel at the most
At least that's how we thought of it
Now we got this big black pearl in our hands
It's a pebble or a stone
Not the kind they'd sell at Cartier
We always thought we were unseparable
Sisters not by blood but by soul
Something has come between us now
Get ready to watch the fall fall fall
Forever doesn't live here anymore
Forever took it's bags and shut the door
It'll never be the same now no no no
Never be the same now no no no
Now forever doesn't live here anymore
Ten years ago we would have talked it through
Well before it grew into something unapproachable
Guess now we've got too much to deal with on our own
Careers and kids and homes
Maybe we just can't be bothered
We never thought this could happen to us
A broken promise and a broken heart
A human mistake but a mistake it was
And it was big enough
To tear us all apart
Forever doesn't live here anymore
At least we could last, right ?
But now I'm not so sure
'cause everything is changing oh oh oh
Everything is changing oh oh oh
Now forever doesn't live here anymore
We said drop it down, let's see if it floats
We left our love to swim for the shore
Now watch it crumble, watch it crawl
Now you don't seem to care at all
Forever doesn't live here anymore
We gave it up, said it's not worth fighting for
And it's not coming back oh no no no
It's not coming back oh no no no
Now forever doesn't live here anymore
Remember when we all lived in that studio by the bay
Head to head and face to face
I've never been that close to anyone
And now the fine lines around our eyes begin to show
And slowly we begin to know
That everything we were might soon be gone
We always thought we were unseparable
Sisters not by blood but by soul
Something has come between us now
All I can do is watch the fall
Forever doesn't live here anymore
Forever took it's bags and shut the door
I will never be the same now no no no
Never be the same now no no no
Now forever doesn't live here anymore
