[Verse 1]
When he looks in her eyes, he sees only the truth
Tellin' him he's been living a lie
Over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pass him by
To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find what she's been hiding inside
Broken or battered it really don't matter
Her hearts like a wave and he's the tide
[Chorus]
They're not forever, just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
[Verse 2]
He's like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
All of the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land
Not too much later she can't meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like fire and ice
One is colored, one is gray
[Chorus]
They're not forever, just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
When he looks in her eyes, he sees only the truth
Tellin' him he's been living a lie
Over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pass him by
To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find what she's been hiding inside
Broken or battered it really don't matter
Her hearts like a wave and he's the tide
[Chorus]
They're not forever, just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
[Verse 2]
He's like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
All of the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land
Not too much later she can't meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like fire and ice
One is colored, one is gray
[Chorus]
They're not forever, just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away
