Forever Was a Lie

[Verse 1]
You drew a heart
On my bedroom mirror
Swore you were in
For the long
Long run
You kissed my scars
Said you’d keep me safe
Now every touch
Feels like a loaded gun
[Pre-Chorus]
I replay every word you said
In the quiet when I’m in my bed
Did you mean it or did you pretend?
You promised me an always
Then walked away instead
[Chorus]
You said “forever” like it was easy
Now forever feels like a lie
You turned “I love you” into pieces
Left them scattered in my mind
And now I flinch when someone needs me
Pull away before they try
You promised me forever
But forever was a lie
[Verse 2]
They hold my hand
But I keep my distance
Laugh at their jokes
While I scan for signs
They say my name
And it hits so different
‘Cause you taught me trust
Can turn on a dime
[Pre-Chorus]
I still hear you in their praise
Same sweet tone
Same pretty phrase
Will they vanish if I let them stay?
You promised me a future
Then set it all ablaze
[Chorus]
You said “forever” like it was easy
Now forever feels like a lie
You turned “I love you” into pieces
Left them scattered in my mind
And now I flinch when someone needs me
Pull away before they try
You promised me forever
But forever was a lie
[Bridge]
Maybe one day
Someone patient
Won’t run when I
Start to cry
But right now I’m
Still in ruins
Learning how
To say goodbye
[Chorus]
You said “forever” like it was easy
Now forever feels like a lie
You turned “I love you” into pieces
Left them scattered in my mind
And now I guard the door so tightly
Let the good ones pass me by
You promised me forever
Yeah
Forever was a lie (a lie)
