i never promised you eternity
i never meant to be unkind
but love's the last thing on my mind
nothing in this world's invincible
no-one's heart is made of stone
and though i know i'm yours in principle
i'm the one thing you'll never own
if you can live your life without me
if you can't stand a single moment
i never promised you infinity
i never swore on oath for you
did you expect the holy trinity
in all i say and all that i do?
if you can live your life without me
if you can't stand a single moment
it's not emotional extravagance
we've said farewell a thousand times
why pretend there'll be a second chance
unless this last kiss changes you mind?
if you can live your life without me
if you can't stand a single moment
