Alicia Keys and Brandi Carlile - Paper Flowers [Originals]

Somebody never told me there's a last time for everything
Even a landslide is an opening
Turning metal into gold, silver lining
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 forever anyway
For a moment that was never here to stay
Forget about tomorrow
For just today

Somebody never told me there's a first time for everything
It's a free fall, discovering
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 (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

Ohh (ohh)
Just for today
