I told, I told, I told myself again
I'm never running back on what I said
Trying not to run but you're so far away
So far away
Won't listen to the conscience in my head
I'm conscious but I'm lonely halfway dead
Tired of the thing you never, you never said
You never said

Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world
Our love was made to rule the world
You left me wanting what we were
Our love was made to rule the world

Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name

I know, I know, I know we can't pretend
That we never lovers in the end
I tried to tell myself that this pain would go away
Just go away

Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world
Our love was made to rule the world
You left me wanting what we were
Our love was made to rule the world

Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name

Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world

Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever knew my name, my name, my name, my name
Forget forever
Forget forever
