"Paper Flowers (Originals)" lyrics - ALICIA KEYS

[Verse 1: 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

[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
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

[Verse 2: Brandi Carlile]
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

[Chorus: Alicia Keys & Brandi Carlile, Alicia Keys, Brandi Carlile]
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
