[Verse 1]
Things started changing like seasons we forgot to name,
You don’t look at me the same — just shadows in your flame.
Back then, your eyes held stars and truth I could believe,
Now they barely glance at me before you turn to leave.
We were safe once — soft whispers in the dark,
Now there’s tension in your breath, silence where there was spark.
You pick up your phone, call your mother again,
While I’m sitting in the kitchen, wondering when we began to end.
Do you even want to fix this? Or is it too far gone?
Are we breaking in silence just playing along?
You push me away like love is a burden,
But I still want to be the one you turn to when the world’s uncertain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Should I have begged you to stay when your hands let go?
Or would you have left anyway, just slower, more cold?
You took the car, you took the calm —
Left me drowning in the echoes, far from your arms.
[Chorus]
And now, forever feels like a curse, not a vow,
A promise broken by the silence we allow.
The bed is cold, your side’s erased,
Empty air where I used to trace
The rhythm of your breath, your name in my chest —
Now all I hold is pain and regret.
You were my always — until always meant never.
And I’m stuck here loving you… alone, in Forever.
[Verse 2]
Arguments became our only form of touch,
Even your silence started feeling too much.
I see your eyes — they burn right through,
Not with love, but like I’m someone you once knew.
Chairs pushed, words thrown like knives,
And I collapse under the weight of our past lives.
The memories don’t let me sleep at night,
And I’m scared to reach, scared you’ll pull back again,
How do I fix something you don’t want to mend?
Can we talk, like we used to at midnight in the mirror,
When your laugh was the only sound I’d hear?
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to talk for hours, now we talk in sighs,
I still hear your voice in the mirror where truth never lies.
You packed your bags, left your scent in the air,
Now the closet echoes with the clothes no longer there.
I still see us brushing teeth, laughing with no fear,
Now I barely recognize the ghost that appears.
[Chorus]
And now, forever feels like a curse, not a vow,
A promise broken by the silence we allow.
The bed is cold, your side’s erased,
Empty air where I used to trace
The rhythm of your breath, your name in my chest —
Now all I hold is pain and regret.
You were my always — until always meant never.
And I’m stuck here loving you… alone, in Forever.
[Bridge]
Should I have held on longer? Screamed louder when you slipped?
Begged the stars to keep us from this rift?
You left with your things and half of my breath,
Now I sleep in the ruins of what we had left.
In the room where we planned forever — now full of what never began.
“Forever” was carved in the lines of our skin,
But forever, my love, was where the end begins.
[Chorus – Final]
And now, forever feels like a curse, not a vow,
A promise broken by the silence we allow.
The bed is cold, your side’s erased,
Empty air where I used to trace
The rhythm of your breath, your name in my chest —
Now all I hold is pain and regret.
You were my always — until always meant never.
And I’m stuck here loving you… alone, in Forever.
