When Forever Isn't Enough

I stood at the edge of losing you
The kind of dark you can't come back from
I counted every breath you took
Like each one was the last
And I would have burned the whole world down
Just to pull you from that shadow
But the world didn't matter
Only you

I've learned what it means to almost
I've learned what it costs to stay
I carry that night like a stone in my chest
That I'd carry a thousand more days

And if we live until the stars go out
If time forgets our names
If every age that ever was
Just fades and fades and fades
I'll still be standing here unsatisfied
Still reaching, still undone
Because even forever isn't enough
For what I feel for you
Even forever
Isn't enough

They say eternity is mercy
A gift that few are given
But I could walk through every era
Every ruin, every dawn
And when the last light finds us standing
Still together, still breathing
I'll look at you and feel it
Like the first time

I've learned what it means to keep you
I've learned what it is to know
That fate can be a kindness
When it won't let you go

And if we live until the stars go out
If time forgets our names
If every age that ever was
Just fades and fades and fades
I'll still be standing here unsatisfied
Still reaching, still undone
Because even forever isn't enough
For what I feel for you
Even forever
Isn't enough

I don't want forever because I'm afraid
I want it because losing one second of you
Is a second I can't afford
And infinity still feels like not enough time
To say everything I mean

So let the stars go out
Let time forget our names
Let every age that ever was
Just fade and fade and fade
I'll still be standing here undone by you
Still reaching, still on fire
Because even forever isn't enough
For what I feel for you

Even forever
Isn't enough...
