For Always

I try to slow it down, take it a notch up
Breathe in, breathe deep and calmly
Collect my thoughts, forget the urge to
Run back and hold you tightly
One hand on the suitcase
The other holding on to your memories
Looking for other ways out of this

And when I walked away
You took my hand and held it to your face
And that was when you told me this
You said

Nothing ever stays the same
And that sometimes, even the sun can't stop the rain
And there are no guarantees
Of what is there and what will be
But if the pain demands that we stop a while
As the rain falls down on our heads
And then you ask me if it's all worthwhile
I'd say yes
And there won't be another answer to that question
Because I'm with you for always

I'm halfway out the door
But my heart and mind are with you
I can't fight it anymore
Because I know I'm bound to lose
The seasons change, and so do we
But I never thought it happens so abruptly
And there are no compromises to this mess

But when the sunlight fades away
You'll be the moon that sets my sky ablaze
With you, I understood that

Nothing ever stays the same
And that sometimes, even the sun can't stop the rain
And there are no guarantees
Of what is there and what will be
But if the pain demands that we stop awhile
As the rain falls down on our heads
And then I ask you if it's all worthwhile
You'd say yes
And there won't be another answer to that question
Because you're with me for always

And you should know it's never too late (the rain falls down hard)
To own up to our mistakes (my hands are shaking)
And I really want to say (my hands are shaking)
I would never let us end this way (and my feet are cold and I)
I look at this love sometimes (I am breaking)
It toes the line of what once was (I am shattering)
And what could be (like fragments of a mirror)
But we go on (I fall apart)

And then you come, turn me around
You put back the pieces
You calm me down
And you tell me

Nothing stays the same and that
Sometimes even the sun can't even stop the rain
And there are no certainties
Of where it is and what will be
But if the pain demands that we stop a while
And if I ask you if I'm worthwhile
