Forever

Look at my texts and there’s a thread missing Head home and there’s no good night kissing You’re lost in every mistake you’ve made I’m lost paying a price that’ll never be paid Be honest, how’s it all working out for you now? If you’re “ doing it on your own ”, take a bow And I still love you like a good man should At this point I’d stop if I thought that I could You’re just a tornado ripping things apart My life, my dreams, my beating heart It was all just collateral damage So much destruction, hard to believe you could manage So thanks for lending me something meant to be permanent You signed up for eternity, then stopped paying rent If I was really what was holding you back Then what exactly have you gained that I lack? You don’t get to choose how I still feel You can be fake, but that doesn’t make me not real Your last anniversary card was absolutely fitting “ Forever ” used to mean never quitting Do me a favor and warn the next few Forever is just a few years to you
