[Verse 1]
Stuck in between heaven and misery
Piece by piece you take the best of me
You have a way of makin' me believe
This beautiful illusion of what I thought we could be

[Pre-Chorus]
I build you up, you let me down
There is a river between us now
Some things you just know
When the hourglass is running low and it's time to go

[Chorus]
Call it fate, a mistake, anything but love
Some things are meant to break if they ain't strong enough
Don't say we'd last forever, no, don't make me stay
Ah-ah, ah-ah, forever's just a minute away

[Verse 2]
I won't look back, just pack my bags and leave
Pick up the pieces that you took from me
You seem to always know what's right for me
But now the therapist needs therapy

[Pre-Chorus]
Took the world to figure you out
(Took the world to figure you out)
Don't turn to me, I can't help you now
And some things you just know
When the hourglass is running low and it's time to go
[Chorus]
Call it fate, a mistake, anything but love
Some things are meant to break if they ain't strong enough
Don't say we'd last forever, no, don't make me stay
Ah-ah, ah-ah, forever's just a minute away

[Bridge]
Seconds to minutes, I was too dazed
Won't let any more time go to waste
This time it's for real, I don't care how you feel
Get over the past, 'cause that's all we have

[Chorus]
Call it fate, a mistake, anything but love
Some things are meant to break if they ain't strong enough
Don't say we'd last forever, no, don't make me stay
Ah-ah, ah-ah, forever's just a minute away

[Outro]
Forever's just a minute away
Forever's just a minute away
(Just a minute away, just a minute away)
