I caught a glimpse of forever,
In moments now bittersweet,
Dancin' under autumn skies,
Where our hearts used to meet,
But the petals fell like whispers,
Leavin' only shadows on the ground,
And what we thought was love,
Was just a rollercoaster,
Spinnin' us 'round and 'round.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Love.
Ain't.
Always.
Peaches and cream,
Sometimes.
It's roses and thorns,
Where once we were so close,
Pain and sorrow has been born,
Wrapped up in sadness,
A beauty that has been torn,
Nooooooooooo!!!
Love ain't always,
Peaches.
And.
Cream.
It's more like roses and thorns,
Oh.
Ohhhhhhhhhh.
I'm comin' apart,
I am comin' apart at the seams.
Every sweet word we have spoken,
Feels like a bitter sting inside,
We were buildin' the American dream,
But it faded into the distance,
Thanks to a heap of ego and pride.
I promised you forever,
But forever slipped away,
Now I am walkin' through the ashes,
Of a love,
A love that could not stay.
Love.
Ain't.
Always.
Peaches and cream,
Sometimes.
It's roses and thorns, in between.
You gave me flowers,
In hands full of pain,
Wrapped in whispers,
Echoes of sweet disdain,
We could not see,
Through the stormy skies,
Where once there was beauty,
Exists bitter goodbyes.
Nooooooooooo!!!
Love ain’t always,
What's envisioned in the heart,
Not always peaches and cream,
Sometimes only thorn filled roses,
In love's distant dream.
I trace the lines of forgotten hope,
Lost in dreams and soft sighs,
Memory cuts like a petal’s embrace,
Hidden 'neath the mind's lies,
I stand alone,
This bittersweet song,
In the silence I find my way,
With every tear,
I will rise again,
To love another day.
I promised you forever,
But forever slipped away,
Now I am walkin' through the ashes,
Of a love,
A love that could not stay.
Love.
Ain't.
Always.
Peaches and cream,
Sometimes.
It's roses and thorns, in between.
You gave me flowers,
In hands full of pain,
Wrapped in whispers,
Echoes of sweet disdain,
We could not see,
Through the stormy skies,
Where once there was beauty,
Exists bitter goodbyes.
Nooooooooooo!!!
Love ain’t always,
What's envisioned in the heart,
Not always peaches and cream,
Sometimes only thorn filled roses,
In love's distant dream.
I will keep the good moments,
Hold on to them tight,
So tonight I'll stand strong,
Try to let go of the fight,
Through the hurt,
Through the heartache,
I am findin' my new norm,
In the shadows of roses,
Hopin' to rise above this storm.
Nooooooooooo!!!
Love.
Ain't.
Always.
Peaches and cream,
Sometimes.
It's roses and thorns.
I am comin' apart.
I am comin' apart at the seams.
I promised you forever,
But forever slipped away,
Now I am walkin' through the ashes,
Of a love,
A love that could not stay.
