Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
All that glitters isn't gold
And fireworks are ashes after they explode
Might be the latest, but it's not the greatest
If suddenly that something new is something old
You're the something that could never
Be replaced by something better
You're the sun above the weather
Something tried and true
So when it comes to forever
There is only you
There is only you
My short attention got realigned
The focus that was broken now can recognize
You're the contrary to the temporary
And somehow you just keep getting sweeter with time
You're the something that could never
Be replaced by something better
You're the sun above the weather
Something tried and true
So when it comes to forever
There is only you
Everything I would chase was so disposable
Now all I hold onto is only you
My one, my always, my ever is only you
You're the something that could never
Be replaced by something better
You're the sun above the weather
Something tried and true
So when it comes to forever
There is only you
My one, my always, my ever is only you
