Our stories, like tattoos,
Like a scar on our heart it’s still a part of you,
For so long I was ashamed of mine.
But I don’t have to move on,
I write it down in the words of a new song
Like silver or gold heated by a fire,
Yeah, I’m better and better with time.
For every falling star,
For every broken heart,
For every minute that I’m in it and I fall apart,
Breathe in the next breath,
Don’t listen to regret,
My story’s not finished and I’m not done yet.
I can build up a wall and try to shut it out,
It’s just a matter of time before it falls down,
All out of order,
It’s just brick and mortar,
I gotta keep moving,
Forever forward.
The journey down life’s road,
So many curves and swerves and broken potholes,
But there’s beauty in taking the long way,
Yeah, I’ve seen it enough to say.
For every falling star,
For every broken heart,
For every minute that I’m in it and I fall apart,
Breathe in the next breath,
Don’t listen to regret,
My story’s not finished and I’m not done yet.
I can build up a wall and try to shut it out,
It’s just a matter of time before it falls down,
All out of order,
It’s just brick and mortar,
I gotta keep moving,
Forever forward.
No the past don’t define me,
It refines me,
The smiles and the tears put the life in the years and now I finally see.
For every falling star,
For every broken heart,
For every minute that I’m in it and I fall apart,
Breathe in the next breath,
Don’t listen to regret,
Your story’s not finished and you’re not done yet.
I can build up a wall and try to shut it out,
It’s just a matter of time before it falls down,
All out of order,
It’s just brick and mortar,
I gotta keep moving,
Forever forward.
So keep on moving,
Forever forward,
Hmmm mm mm mm
Forever forward.
