After winning but killing a man
To find where she's been hiding inside
It might be they should learn to forget
Carry their hearts like a newborn child
All of the moves and none of the courage
So if you know how, why don't you say 'em a prayer?
Forget themselves in each other
Over and over, like fire and ice
They remember too much about what went wrong
And leave what belongs in the past
One part be my lover, one part go away
They're not forever, just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
'Cause it's only the moment that lasts
They're gonna need all the help they can get
They're not forever, just for today
To her he might be the man of her dreams
Her heart's like a wave and he's the tide
One is color, one is gray
One part go away
About all the love he let pass him by
Not too much later, she can't meet his glance
One part be my lover, one part go away
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like a line in a song
Afraid to throw a punch that might land
He's like a boxer who had to retire
Broken or battered, it really don't matter
They're not forever, just day to day
