Well it started with a little grain of sand 

Or gravel at the most 

At least that's how we thought of it 

Now we got this big black pearl in our hands 

It's a pebble or a stone 

Not the kind they'd sell at Cartier 

We always thought we were unseparable 

Sisters not by blood but by soul 

Something has come between us now 

Get ready to watch the fall fall fall 



Forever doesn't live here anymore 

Forever took it's bags and shut the door 

It'll never be the same now no no no 

Never be the same now no no no 

Now forever doesn't live here anymore 



Ten years ago we would have talked it through 

Well before it grew into something unapproachable 

Guess now we've got too much to deal with on our own 

Careers and kids and homes 

Maybe we just can't be bothered 

We never thought this could happen to us 

A broken promise and a broken heart 

A human mistake but a mistake it was 

And it was big enough 

To tear us all apart 



Forever doesn't live here anymore 

At least we could last, right ? 

But now I'm not so sure 

'cause everything is changing oh oh oh 

Everything is changing oh oh oh 

Now forever doesn't live here anymore 



We said drop it down, let's see if it floats 

We left our love to swim for the shore 

Now watch it crumble, watch it crawl 

Now you don't seem to care at all 

Forever doesn't live here anymore 

We gave it up, said it's not worth fighting for 

And it's not coming back oh no no no 

It's not coming back oh no no no 

Now forever doesn't live here anymore



Remember when we all lived in that studio by the bay 

Head to head and face to face 

I've never been that close to anyone 

And now the fine lines around our eyes begin to show 

And slowly we begin to know 

That everything we were might soon be gone 

We always thought we were unseparable 

Sisters not by blood but by soul 

Something has come between us now 

All I can do is watch the fall 

Forever doesn't live here anymore 

Forever took it's bags and shut the door 

I will never be the same now no no no 

Never be the same now no no no 

Now forever doesn't live here anymore
