Verse 1:
Now here we are again
You're reaching for my hand

Now I admit this feels pretty nice
We haven't been here in quite a long time


Now here we are again
I'm staring straight ahead
You say you'll ask me just one last time

If I can't answer again it's goodbye

Why can't I just tell you the truth

When it's something I preach to you?
If I came to terms with my heart
Even though it'd be hard

This is what I would say

Chorus:

I don't want you forever
I just want you right now
You think the truth would be easy to say,

but how can it be when I'm always lying to myself?

I don't want you forever

Although it's selfish to say
I want your hugs, your kisses, your love
only for today

I don't want you forever

Verse 2:

Oh here we are again
You're lying in my bed
I put my head on your chest and I sigh

You hold me tighter and I want to cry

I can't let go just yet

I really wish we had met
just a few years on down the line
Then maybe I could be sure you were mine


Why is there nothing wrong with you?
Just one flaw and you'd be easy to lose


If I came to terms with my heart
Even though it'd be hard

This is what I would say

Chorus:

I don't want you forever
I just want you right now
You think the truth would be easy to say,

but how can it be when I'm always lying to myself?

I don't want you forever

Although it's selfish to say
I want your hugs, your kisses, your love
only for today

I don't want you forever

Verse 3:

But babe, we can't pretend
'Cuz we both know the end
Is coming near when you look in my eyes

You say, "I love you." I respond with a lie

We both know it's time


I wish I could fool my soul to believe
That you're the only one for me

But there's no switch for a heart
I can't tell it to start
So I'll come out and say


Chorus:
I don't want you forever

The truth has finally come out
I'm sorry it took this long to say
But I was trying dear, although I know that doesn't help
I don't want you forever
So I'll let you go right now

No more hugs, no kisses, no love
They're for someone else
Who will love you forever
