[Verse 1]
Forever has to wait
I can't face another day
All the flowers you brought me
One by one
Fell asleep without me

[Chorus: Elizabeth Powell & Mike Kinsella]
Truth or dare
Love is the cross you bear
J'ai mal au cœur, c'est la faute de l'amour
You're every wave to ever rise
Your slow retreat is no surprise

[Verse 2]
Forever has to wait
The clock on my wall
Is stuck on yesterday
All the ballads you sing to me
One by one
Slip into a minor key

[Chorus: Elizabeth Powell & Mike Kinsella]
Truth or dare
Love is the cross you bear
J'ai mal au cœur, c'est la faute de l'amour
You're every wave to ever rise
I watch you peak and then subside
