The second single from The Paramour Sessions was written as their drummer, Dave Buckner, was going through a divorce, and lead singer Jacoby Shaddix was “at the tail end of seven-eight years of debauchery.” These struggles inspired the lyric.
Shaddix told SongMeanings that when sings, “Days come an...
[Verse 1]
In the brightest hour of my darkest day
I realized what is wrong with me
Can't get over you, can't get through to you
It's been a helter-skelter romance from the start
Take these memories that are haunting me
Of a paper man cut into shreds
By his own pair of scissors
He'll never forgive her, he'll never forgive her
[Chorus]
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
[Verse 2]
Sitting by a fire on a lonely night
Hanging over from another good time
With another girl, little dirty girl
You should listen to this story of a life
You're my heroin
In this moment, I'm lonely, fulfilling my darkest dreams
All these drugs, all these women
I'm never forgiven, this broken heart of mine
[Chorus]
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
[Bridge]
One last kiss
Before I go
Dry your tears
It is time to let you go
One last kiss (one last kiss)
Before I go (before I go)
Dry your tears (dry your tears)
It is time to let you go
[Chorus]
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
Because days come and go
But my feelings for you are forever
[Bridge]
One last kiss (one last kiss)
Before I go (before I go)
Dry your tears (dry your tears)
It is time to let you go
[Outro]
One last kiss
Before I go
Dry your tears
It is time to let you go
One last kiss

Shaddix told SongMeanings in 2015
We were living in this crazy mansion outside of Hollywood, on the tallest hill in Los Angeles looking out over the whole city. So it was a pretty surreal environment to write a record in. My drummer was going through a divorce at the time; I was at the tail end of...
