FOR(N)EVER Lyrics

MY TURN

i have been patiently waiting in line
watching everyone passing me by
and i can't seem to figure out 
when's it gonna be my turn?
i'm sick and tired of paying my dues
play the game 'til the end then i lose
so can somebody tell me
when's it gonna be my turn?
when's it gonna be my turn?

yesterday i've learned from
tomorrow is uncertain
so why can't i just make my turn today?

i've always followed and played by the rules
thought the prize goes to those who are true
still nobody can answer me
when's it gonna be my turn?
when's it gonna be my turn?

yesterday i've learned from
tomorrow is uncertain
so why can't i just make my turn today?
'cause yesterday i'm burned from
tomorrow is uncertain
so why can't i just make my turn today...

when's it gonna be my turn?


I DON'T THINK I LOVE YOU

i wonder what you'll take from me today?
my sanity or just my breath away? it's hard to say
impossible for me to tell
while always walking on eggshells 
who you're going to be from day to day....

i wish that we could go back to how we were before 
but i don't think that i love you anymore, anymore 
it's too hard to keep pretending
it's too hard to ignore
i don't think that you love me anymore, anymore

i wonder why it is that you don't see?
how much you've changed since we first met and how much that it's killing me?
i know that i will always miss
the butterflies of our first kiss
and how you used to smile so easily, easily...

i'm sorry
i never thought that it would come to this...

i know we'll never get back to how we were before
'cause that i love you anymore

SO CLOSE, SO FAR

i wake up all alone, somewhere unfamiliar
been gone so many days I'm losing count
and when i think of home, i see your face
i know i have to wait...

we're so close yet so far
it's tearing me apart
what i would do to be there with you
so close yet so far
it's tearing me apart
what i would do to be back with you

i miss hearing your laughter, and all the little things
forgotten what it's like to hold you
'cause where i'm at right now's so unforgiving
it's numbing everything...

so promise, no matter how long it takes for me to get back to you
you'll wait for me...
i promise, no matter how far away i go i'll come back for you
just wait and see

i miss being at home, i miss your face
i don't think i can wait..


ALL ABOUT YOU 

i spill out my heart
but you don't hear a word
'cause you’re busy thinking 'bout how long 'til it's your turn
so you can go on and on about yourself
and on and on about yourself
and my heart can go back on the shelf
so go on and on about yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's not all about you! all about you! 
the more you speak, the less i care about you! you! you! you!
it's not all about you! the world turns without you! 
the more you speak, the less i care about you! you! you! you!

whatever i do
you've already done
only you've done better and way before anyone
'cause you think that it's some game to win 
'cause you think that it's some game to win
your accomplishments and places been
you think that it's some game to win......

you go on and on and on about yourself
you go on and on and on about yourself
the list of who you know'
the places that you've been
why can't you see nobody...

cares about you! it's not all about you!
the more you speak, the less we care about you! you! you! you!
it's not all about you! the world turns without you
the more you speak, the less we care about you! you! you! you!
care about you!!!!!!!!

FOR(N)EVER Lyrics - Part 2

THE LETTER

 "meet me there at midnight, same place we always go, i'm absolutely sure he doesn't know"
those words jump off the letter, that i found behind our bed, haunting me they echo in my head
in my head......

it's too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
it's all there in the letter that i found
i've memorized it line for line, too bad the letter isn't mine...

 "when can i next see you? been counting down the days. i promise you our secret will be safe."
no i just can't continue, reading through my tears, the meaning of the letter is so clear....

it's too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
it's all there in the letter that i found
i've memorized it line for line, too bad the letter isn't mine...

you wanted me to find it, girl: (i wanted you to find it) 
you never tried to hide it, girl: (i never tried to hide it)
the writing never fades, the words are here to stay
 
i hope you find this letter, i'm writing you today, these will be the last words that i say.....

it's too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
it's all here in this letter that you've found
it's too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
it's all here in this letter that you've found
so memorize it line for line, i won't be there to say good bye....



TEARS OF YESTERDAY

i write your name in my breath on the window
sit and watch as it fades away
the painful memories
of the tears of yesterday

the sky is cold and grey
just like it was when we both went our separate ways
and the rain won't wash away
all the dirt of my mistakes
so....

i write your name in my breath on the window
sit and watch as it fades away
the painful memories
of the tears of yesterday

the deafening sound of rain
it's not enough to drown my thoughts or ease the pain
so instead i'll soak it in
while i stare outside again
and...

i write your name in my breath on the window
sit and watch as it fades away
the painful memories
of the tears of yesterday
i try so hard but i can't seem to let go
i lost so much when you walked away
the painful memories
of the tears of yesterday

the sun just won't seem to come out
not since you walked away
and i cannot escape, cannot escape the rain


SICK OF HANGING ON

first you tell me it's over
but then you try to get me to stay
i'm so confused, what am i gonna do?
you pull me in so you can push me away
one minute you tell you need me
but it's right before you walk out the door
you're hot then you're cold and the game's getting old
who am i supposed to be anymore? 

I can't wait forever
to know if we're together
i'm sick of hanging on 
anything sounds better 
than waiting on you forever
i'm sick of hanging on 

choose 'cause you cant have it both ways
choose so i know what to do
i can't believe thats how you're gonna be
you've had your cake and now you're eating it too

you need to make up your mind
i need to know where i stand
this is your only chance
(wait forever no way never)
i'm sick of hanging on
let me know or i let go.....

i can't wait forever!
to know if we're together
i'm sick of hanging on
anything sounds better
than waiting here forever
i'm sick of hanging on, sick of hanging on


YOU'RE THE ONE

tonight i'm letting go
of all the old excuses and fears i've held so close
'cause inside i've always known
that no one else could ever do or ever feel like home

and there's so many things i'll never know
but this i know for sure...

you're the one, i need you more than ever 
it's taken too long, taken too long to say
my life began the night we spent together
'cause i cannot live. i'd die any other way
i'm not afraid
you're the one... 

it hasn't always been
the best of times, but if you ask, i'd do it all again
and i'm ready to begin
a brand new chapter in our lives, just tell me where and when

'cause there're so many things i'll never know
but this i know for sure....

you're the one who understands
who makes me better than i am
i do it all because of you
when all we had had come undone
you stood and fought and didn't run
you're the one who pulled us through

you're the one, i feel it more than ever 
it's taken too long, taken too long to say
our lives began the night we spent together
'cause i cannot live. i'd die any other way
i'm not afraid
you're the one...

FOR(N)EVER Lyrics - Part 3

WHO THE HELL AM I?

no more lying to myself
pretending to be someone else
and no more hiding how i feel behind a smile
and living in constant self denial
there is something i need to say...
no more running from a fight
and no more giving up when i know i'm right
sick of trying to fit in
and wondering what i could have been
there is something i need to say
it's growing everyday
things are going to change....

i won't apologize
for who i've come to be 
'cause the who the hell am i
if i can't be me?
i've wasted so much time 
on insecurities
'cause who the hell am i 
if i can't be me?

no more need to justify
everything i do, everything i like
and no more blood from biting my tongue
too afraid to upset anyone
there is something i need to say...
no more guilt for what i see
in the mirror staring back at me
there is something i need to say
it's growing everyday
things are going to change...

and it feels like i am naked, stripped for you to see
my scars and imperfections
but you never seem to notice
'cause you're to busy, covering up, your bruises and cuts, from who knows what, just like me...

so why apologize
for who i've come to be
'cause who the hell am i
if i can't be me
i've wasted too much time
on insecurities
'cause this is who i am
and that's fine with me

YOU NEED TO BE HERE

i feel the wind rush across my face like an invisible wave crashing over me
i started holding my breath, the moment i left, wondering what the day was gonna bring for me...
but there's no way that i could ever prepare, for the scope of it all, for the chill in the air, 
the cold of the rain, the warmth of the days, i'm never gonna be the same....

the whole world's racing by
and no words can describe
how it feels inside
you need to be here, you need to be here with me
they come and go so fast 
these moments never last....
so you need to be here, you need to be here with me

it's something new when beyond every corner is a mystery
all the roads that i've taken could never be mistaken for the one that now is under my feet
and i realize, with open eyes, every second that we have is once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime....

'cause some thing's incomplete, not quite how it should be
and i try and i try just to live in the moment
but everything i do, still leads me back to you....
'cause there is no substitute....


GONE GONE GONE

i've been having trouble looking in the mirror?
when i do i can't stand the person that i see 
although my face is still the same
underneath something has changed 
from all the sh*t you've said and done to me...
did you ever realize the damage you were doing?
were you aware of all the mess that i've cleaned up?
but now i see just who you are
i can't believe it got this far
and it's time to say enough is enough...

i'll be gone, gone, gone....
we started off in heaven
i'll be gone, gone, gone....
we ended up in hell
so don't waste my time with one more lie
it's too late too apologize
by the time this song is done,
i'll be gone, i'll be gone.

i should have listened when my friends said you were crazy
i should have shown a little spine and self respect
but i couldn't see the signs
your so called love had made me blind
tied me up and left me for dead

don't beg me to reconsider
don't bother getting on your knees
'cause there's absolutely nothing you can say to change my mind
so save your breath....

Question.

Since when did The Letter have a female backup singer?

doug had mentioned that they might make it a duet w/female guest artists in certain international markets... ie, feature a japanese singer for the japan release, norwegian singer for norway release, etc...  something like that.  i don't know if that ended up actually happening anywhere?

They should do it with BoA! BoA is popular in Japan!...ok so she's Korean, but she sings in Japanese...her or Crystal Kay. Crystal's cool.

Yeah I remember reading that, it's just strange they would put them in there if there wasn't actually a female that sang in the song.

wow i've actually heard of BoA!  has she been around for a long time?  i know nothing more than the name and i seem to recall it from when i was in college or something (10 yrs ago, yikes)... or was there a k-pop group named boa at some point, or was boa in a k-pop group??  i might be making up this "hearing of boa" thing after all.

oh man, if they do still record the different duets in random countries, i'm going to want all those friggin expensive imports!

BoA has been around for almost a decade. She's really big in Japan and Korea. She's trying to make it in the US. I don't think she was in a K-pop group, but she was definitely more popular than most K-pop groups out there.

gotcha... now i'm racking my brain for whatever group i'm mistakenly associating her name with, and it's driving me nuts.  the quest for pointless info always drives me nuts.

i guess the guys confirmed the whole duet thing on the webchat today... i can't wait to hear it and find out who they recorded with!

So good

How amazing are these lyrics.  Enough to make you cry, and when sung by Doug Robb with the voice of an angel WOW

Re: FOR(N)EVER Lyrics

The lyrics to The Reason are so powerful and ring so true. I was wondering where you where when you wrote them? How did that song come to be? From my own experience I imagine this was someone you could not be with, but someone who changed your life.
I am an aspiring producer and vocalist and would love to work with you one day on a track. You guys are an inspiration to me. Thank you! xoxo
