[Verse 1] You carved our names into the desk behind the gym, said when we’re older I’d still be there with him. You stole my jacket, I stole your favorite shirt, we made forever sound like just another word. You wrote me letters in your terrible handwriting, said we’d get out of here, leave everything behind. I kept them hidden underneath my bed, now every promise sounds stupid in my head. [Pre-Chorus] You said we’d never change, you said we’d never end. Funny how forever only lasted till the weekend. [Chorus] You said forever, forever was a lie. You wrote our names underneath a summer sky. Now every letter is fading in the rain. You said forever— don’t say it again. You said forever, like forever meant a thing. Now I’m tearing up the pictures and the stupid notes you gave me. You said forever, but forever came and went. So don’t you fucking tell me that you meant what you said. [Verse 2] I heard you’re telling everyone that we’re still friends. That’s kinda funny, ‘cause I don’t remember when you stopped ignoring every message that I sent and started acting like you weren’t the one who left. Your hoodie’s sitting in a box beside the door. I thought I’d miss you. I don’t need it anymore. You can come get it, or I’ll throw it in the street. Maybe forever was just seventeen. [Pre-Chorus] You said we’d never change, you said we’d never end. Funny how forever only lasted till the weekend. [Chorus] You said forever, forever was a lie. You wrote our names underneath a summer sky. Now every letter is fading in the rain. You said forever— don’t say it again. You said forever, like forever meant a thing. Now I’m tearing up the pictures and the stupid notes you gave me. You said forever, but forever came and went. So don’t you fucking tell me that you meant what you said. [Bridge] Maybe we were stupid. Maybe we were young. Maybe saying “forever” just sounded better on your tongue. And maybe someday I’ll laugh about your name. But tonight I’m crossing out every heart I ever made. [Breakdown] You said— FOREVER! I said— WHATEVER! You said— FOREVER! Well, look at us now. [Final Chorus] You said forever, forever was a lie. You wrote our names underneath a summer sky. Now every letter is fading in the rain. You said forever— don’t say it again. You said forever, like forever meant a thing. Now I’m screaming every word with my best friends next to me. You said forever, but forever came and went. So keep your fucking promises— I’M DONE WITH THEM! [Outro] You said forever… Yeah. Whatever.
