Temporary Peace - Anathema

Haven't talked in four months, cut off all connection Beating myself up about leaving you fighting for me You had good intentions, but when I saw you it clicked I guess that was all that I needed to know that if We were still together By now we'd be at each other's throats tryna recover From another argument Like "who's the better lover?" We don't know each other, we don't know each other at all I didn't end it just for me Knew we'd break eventually What's love if it's temporary? I couldn't settle, you couldn't change It was inevitable this way We never got in too deep Headed down a dead end street What's love if it's temporary? Headed down a dead end street What's love if it's temporary? I know what you're thinking You weren't good enough for me Those were your words, you said it first, you couldn't see that if We were still together By now we'd be fighting until we both lost our voices So much for the silent treatment I don't wanna do this As if you wanna do this, but you say you're loyal to a fault I didn't end it just for me Knew we'd break eventually (don't wanna break) What's love if it's temporary? I couldn't settle, you couldn't change (you couldn't change) It was inevitable this way We never got in too deep (we never got in too deep) Headed down a dead end street What's love if it's temporary? (What's love? What's love?) Headed down a dead end street What's love if it's temporary? What's love if it's temporary? Headed down a dead end street What's love if it's temporary?

Don't take it personal You know I know it hurts to go Carry the weight, and I ignore the pain This might cost a lot, charge the game Won't miss the fightin', but I know you'll miss me I just hope you get a feel to kiss me We break, then shake, no fake, you made me smile Sun, rain, or snow, girl, I want you around That's how I know I can't give you up (oh) Most times, it's temporary Most girls are temporary Most feels are temporary This time it's not This time, I can't give you That's how I know I can't give you up (oh) Most times, it's temporary Most girls are temporary Most feels are temporary This time it's not This time, I can't give you (yeah) (Yeah) Got karma on my mind, so don't talk bad on us Bad features, I can't tolerate them barkin' on us We part ways and keep operatin', heartbreak for us Got Patrón for us, yeah, breathe in, then breathe out New links and new rules for myself, reach in to reach out Soon as I hop out the whip We break, then shake, no fake, you made me smile Sun, rain, or snow, girl, I want you around That's how I know I can't give you up (oh) Most times, it's temporary Most girls are temporary Most feels are temporary This time it's not This time, I can't give you That's how I know I can't give you up (oh) Most times, it's temporary Most girls are temporary Most feels are temporary This time it's not This time, I can't give you (yeah, yeah) (Temporary, temporary)

It seems like we like to be living dangerously Our hearts sings a temporary lie It seems like her madness could be endlessly Her love is a temporary high And you're running to the shore Howling at the waves Howling back at you (you, you, you) When you're ahead, she's coming after And when you run, she's running faster And when she loves, you better hope her Love is not a temporary high Your body was warm when she was cold You would long for love Her storm was a temporary light And I guess you froze When the storm blew away her clothes And you never got warm again With hands as blue as ice You reached towards the sky Reaching back at you (you, you, you) When you're ahead, she's coming after And when you run, she's running faster And when she loves, you better hope her Love is not a temporary high (You, you, you) And when you run, she's running faster And when she loves, you better hope her Love is not a temporary high With hands as blue as ice You reached towards the sky Reaching back at you (you, you, you) When you're ahead, she's coming after And when you run, she's running faster And when she loves, you better hope her Love is not a temporary high (You, you, you) And when you run, she's running faster And when she loves, you better hope her Love is not a temporary high You better hope that her love is not temporary You better hope that her love is not temporary

There's a tide turning in this temporary town Winds of change cut east blowing dust up off the ground I'm all burnt out on heartland skies And dreams of swinging on our porch ganderin' ridge lines There's a mighty mountain of bills on the floor If it builds up any higher they'll be bursting through the door Tear down these walls let me shiver in the wind I'll take it as a sign well-timed and consider it God-sent I could take your hand and leap across the border Give a little gas and ride off towards higher ground Make a piecе of heaven near somе old forgotten town And let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around Let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around I can picture it now a white house in a clearing Humming a bluebird song til the days we're hard of hearing Ancient blue ridges just like big old fences Shelter from the world keeping senseless at a distance I could take your hand and leap across the border Give a little gas and ride off towards higher ground Make a piece of heaven near some old forgotten town And let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around Let the world pass by 'till there's no turning around I could take your hand and leap across the border Give a little gas and ride off towards higher ground Make a piece of heaven near some old forgotten town And let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around Let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around Let the world pass by 'til there's no turning around

What I thought was love has me falling apart Don't know if I can heal from this broken heart Didn't think my partner would ever give up on me Guess I made it hard when I wouldn't give in Looking back on all my selfishness and all my sin You were drowning in the darkness that made it so I couldn't see I wanna go back to the days when I wasn't afraid The good life with my wife and the family we made There was once a time when everything seemed alright So take me back to the time when I was a boy Before innocance was lost and police destroyed But that was all in the past and it was only temporary Now I gotta move, I gotta play my part Focus on my children and my music and art Life ain't gonna stop and wait for shit like me Learn from my regrets and I'll try to be A good man working hard with integrity I'm changing my perspective and that's what's gonna set me free I wanna look now to the world that I'm living in Time to stand up on my own and it's time to begin I'm only bound by the limits I set for myself I gotta have hope for the future no matter the case Looking forward with my dreams until I reach that place It doesn't matter if I fail cause life is only temporary And why do I have to do this on my own I cry, Lord why don't you just take me home Could you hand me the instructions please I've been pleading to you on my knees Yeah, you just tell me what to do I'll do my best to follow through Bam! I wanna look back on my life and let it all go Death is coming for us all but we'll never know When he's gonna catch us and take us to the other side I wanna have faith that I loved and I did my best Give me open arms or eternal rest But I know that day is gonna come I know that day is gonna come I know that day is gonna come Cause life is only temporary

I don't wanna care so much about something that isn't love I don't wanna care so much if it's all for nothing I don't wanna care so much I don't wanna care so much If it's all for nothing I don't wanna care so much about something that isn't love I don't wanna care so much if it's all for nothing I don't wanna care so much I don't wanna care so much about something that isn't love I don't wanna care so much if it's all for nothing I don't wanna care so much about something that isn't love I don't wanna care so much if it's all for nothing I don't wanna care so much about something that isn't love I don't wanna care so much if it's all for nothing I don't wanna care so much about something that isn't love I don't wanna care so much if it's all for nothing
