Story behind the song
I wrote it for my ex-husband and performed it at our wedding reception. I meant for it to be a positive love song at the time, but since the marriage was a failure with extreme codependence, the angst and desparation in the vocals seem more fitting. I have already written a "sequel".
Lyrics
Decaf for breakfast, beer for dinner. Wasn't getting any happier, wasn't getting any thinner. Going out every weekend, just trying to make something happen. Wasn't getting any needs met. Wasn't gaining any self-respect. From the middle of nowhere, there you stood, my moment of truth. All the headtrips and the heartaches disappeared with my youth. Now you are everything to me. I can't imagine the rest of my life without you here. Forever is a long time, but it is not long enough to provide my endless need for you. All of the skeletons from my tortured past kept me wondering, what's the catch? Would the day come when you'd walk out and slam the door? Well I finally don't believe the day will come anymore. On the firmest of ground, there you stand, my statue of truth. Everything I ever could be is right here next to you. And you are everything to me. I can't imagine the rest of my life without you here. Forever is a long time, but it is not long enough to give my endless love to you. Forever is a long time, but it is not long enough for me and you
