Was gonna give you these flowers tonight
Was gonna ask you to stay
Practiced so that I would say it just right
But now there are no words to say

As I watch you kiss him softly
The same way you kissed me

I scream what am I gonna do with forever now?
Tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now? Ohh
All the plans we made don't work if you're not around
So tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?
What do I do now?
What do I do now?

In slow motion I let these flowers hit the ground
And right before I turn to leave

I watch you kiss him softly
Then look up and see me

And I scream, "What am I gonna do with forever now?" Wow
Tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?
All the plans we made don't work if you're not around
So tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?
What do I do now?

Everything you said we would be
All the things you said we'd do
I made all my life around the thought of me and you

And I scream "What am I gonna do with forever now?" (What do I do? What do I do now?)Wow
Tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now? (What do I do? What do I do now?) Ohh
All the plans we made don't work if you're not around
So tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now? Ey
What do I do now?
What do I do now?
What do I do now?

What do I do? What do I do now?
What do I do now?
What do I do? What do I do now?
What do I do now?
