Forever Forward

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, mm

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 you're 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 and 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, hmm
Forever forward
