What We Remember
Anggun
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Planes fly over my head Drawing lines in the sky Destined to be forgotten Words you dared to say That left the clouds in my eyes On hold to be forgiven Can't you see it in my face? The struggle and the grace Some things you cannot hide We're dodging bullets with this game But the pleasure and the pain Are only there for a while 'Cause nothing lasts forever, forever No, nothing lasts forever We only have what we remember We only have what we remember We only have what we remember Though life plays hard to get Somehow I keep the smile And let my heart do the rest One thing I can regret Is when I'm too afraid to try To give it my very best Don't want my memory of you The love that once was true Slowly fades away Something that I can't undo Can break my heart in two Is what they called the twist of fate 'Cause nothing lasts forever, forever No, nothing lasts forever We only have what we remember We only have what we remember We only have what we remember We only have what we remember We only have what we remember
