Paper Flowers (Originals) lyrics

Alicia Keys

Somebody never told me there's a last time for everything
Even a landslide is an opening
Turning metal into gold
So the line is somebody never told me

Paper flowers don't die
But neither do they live like you and I
Lightning never striking twice is a lie
Like good things coming when you wait
To tell the truth, I gotta say
I don't believe in yesterday
I don't wanna live forevеr, anyway
For a moment that was never hеre to stay
Forget about tomorrow
For just today

Somebody never told me there's a first time for everything
It's a free fall, discovery
On the day you get that call and the waiting is over
It all changes in the blink of an eye

Paper flowers don't die
But neither do they live like you and I
Lightning never striking twice is a lie
Like good things coming when you wait
To tell the truth, I gotta say
I don't believe in yesterday
I don't wanna live forever, anyway
For a moment that was never here to stay
Forget about tomorrow (Forget about tomorrow)
Just for today
Forget about tomorrow
Just for today (Just for today)
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Just for today
