It wasn’t love at first sight
It took me forty days and forty nights
You seemed determined to win me over
I was playing hard to get
Hell bent on putting up a fight

But sure enough like a big oak I fell
The way you had won me
It turned me away

There goes the only one that I've ever loved
So much for forever
There goes the life that I've always dreamed of
So much for forever

You said you believe in
Before you risked to be left
To you the meant good logic
And made perfect sense
But like I was slow
Molasses in my head
I stood there mumbling
With nothing to say

There goes the only one that I've ever loved
So much for forever
There goes the life that I've always dreamed of
So much for forever
Broken and scorned like a burning stove
So much for forever

There goes the only one that I've ever loved
So much for forever
There goes the life that I've always dreamed of
So much for forever
Broken and scorned like a burning stove
So much for forever
So much for forever
