Sweet November

Verse 1]

Met you in a season that was meant to fade out

Calendar love, with an expiration date now

You smiled like you knew what I ain’t know yet

Eyes said forever but your lips said “don’t bet”

You move like a secret, soft but heavy

Talkin’ ‘bout limits, I ain’t even ready

I’m buildin’ a life, you packin’ it light

I’m plantin’ roots, you passin’ the night

Doctors and silence, you dodgin’ the truth

I see it in pieces, you hidin’ the proof

But I ain’t the type just to love then retreat

I’m stayin’ ten toes even when it get deep

⸻

You say time only gives what it takes away

But I don’t believe that we’re built that way

⸻

Who can say where the road really goes?

If we don’t try, then nobody knows

Forget sweet November, I want forever

Even if forever’s just us together

Who can say when the moment will end?

Why we gotta break if we still can bend?

Forget sweet November, I want forever

Fight it with me—we can fight it together

⸻

You treat love like it’s already gone

Like the end of the movie already on

But I’m still here, I ain’t rollin’ the credits

You talk about fate, I’m refusin’ to edit

I seen the fear when you look away

Like you already left but your body stay

You say it’s mercy, lettin’ me go

But that ain’t love, that’s a beautiful no

I’d rather hurt than to never have tried

Than live with a “what if” buried inside

You gave me a month, I’m askin’ for years

I’ll carry the weight, I’ll carry your fears

⸻

If time only moves in one direction

Why you act like love needs protection?

We don’t get to choose when it’s over

But we choose if we fight while it’s closer

⸻

Who can say where the road really goes?

If we don’t try, then nobody knows

Forget sweet November, I want forever

Even if forever’s just us together

Who can say when the moment will end?

Why we gotta break if we still can bend?

Forget sweet November, I want forever

Fight it with me—we can fight it together

⸻

So don’t count days like they’re all we got

We more than a moment, we more than a clock

If love got a limit, then let it be wrong

‘Cause I’d take forever… even if it’s not long…
