Forever That Wasn't

Intro] Yeah… Yeah, yeah… You said forever… [Chorus] You said forever, now you vanish in air I clutch these memories, they won’t disappear Shadows whisper, no one’s really there You said forever, now it’s gone, it’s disappeared [Verse 1] I replay your voice like it’s a melody Late nights, empty bed, I feel so empty All your promises now cut like knives Staring at the ceiling, reliving our lives I gave you my heart, you tore it apart Light turned to shadow right from the start Every text, every call, I scroll through the pain Every “I love you” leaves a bruise in my brain [Pre-Chorus] I can’t sleep, can’t breathe, can’t release Your ghost haunts my sheets wherever I go I thought you were real, thought you’d never fade But forever with you… just slipped away [Chorus] You said forever, now you vanish in air I clutch these memories, they won’t disappear Shadows whisper, no one’s really there You said forever, now it’s gone, it’s disappeared [Verse 2] unstable melodic cadence | close-mic intimacy | emotional cracks preserved | dragged endings mixed with punch-in flows] F is for the fake fuckin bitch that you are O for the openness you never showed R for the way you ripped out my heart E for every emotion every lie every part V for the venom and viscous vendettas E for everyone you ever fucked around with R for the retarded really dumb bitch that you are Forever was fraud… just pretty words said [mid-low tenor | raspy vocal texture | melodic talking delivery] Now every “always” feel dead when it land Every promise sound shaky, like it collapsed in my hands Took every reason I had to believe in love for once Could feel your energy and it felt like something’s up [pain building | layered whispers] You said “ride or die”… guess I died by myself Don’t worry bitch I’ll be just fine by myself Still hear your voice when no one else is around I was a man over board and you just let me drown [melody stretch | emotional spiral] And I hate that I love you after all of this damage After the lies, manipulation, emotional havoc Forever ain’t forever when the pressure gets rough It’s just pretty little words people use and it sucks [stacked harmonies fading] Forever… forever… What a beautiful lie… [Outro] Yeah… forever, forever, forever… But you’re not here… yeah, not here…
