You liked it so much in the city
You know I could not stand it there
You loved to get lost in the people
And pretend that they really cared

You know you're such a bad imposter
Hiding your wings beneath your coat
And I watched your footprints makin patterns
Away from me into the snow
Now I don't believe in nothing anymore

Love is permanent, not temporary
And it's driven straight into our chest
And buried much too deep
To just pull out like weeds in a garden
It's permanent
Well I'm sorry

So lately I've been goin crazy
Tryin to get you off my mind
Cuz thoughts of you hang just like pictures
And gather dust over the time

We hung them up just like real lovers
And drove our nails into the wall
Cuz we thought they'd be there forever
But we weren't permanent at all
And it's getting much too hard to see it now

Love is permanent not temporary
And it's driven straight into our chest
And buried much too deep
To just pull out like weeds in a garden
It's permanent
Well I'm sorry

Love is permanent. not temporary
And it's driven straight into our chest
And buried much too deep
To just pull out like weeds in a garden
It's permanent
Well I'm sorry

Love is permanent, not temporary
And it's driven straight into our chest
And buried much too deep
To just pull out like weeds in a garden
It's permanent
Well I'm sorry

I'm sorry
It's permanent
I'm sorry
