Can't Have Forever

   - CAN'T HAVE FOREVER -

we're not an ordinary man
  but we know we cannot have "forever"
    so we take it where we can
too many nights without a day
  for the sake of avoiding pain
    we have lost our way
we always thought that we could fly
  till we were shot down from the sky
    no matter what we try
we can't have forever - won't try
we can't have forever - won't cry.

they say there's ice inside our veins
  a man of a thousand faces
    silver eyes and velvet chains
we know our heart is made of steel
  cos it never starts pounding
    till they strap us to the wheel
we always thought that we could fly
  till we were shot down from the sky
    no matter what we try
we can't have forever - won't try
we can't have forever - won't cry.

somebody said we'll make you strong
  I can give you all the dreams
    tell you right and show you wrong
so we believed her, all her lies
  but there was an end to dreaming
    'cos "the mourning" made it die
we never looked above our head
  and so we missed the things she said
we always thought that we could fly
  till she shot us from the sky
no matter how we try
  we can't have forever
can't avoid "the pain"
  we can't have forever
never again
we can't, we can't, we can't
we can't, we can't have forever Now
