[Verse 1]
Six letters in my mind, they never fade
A name I carry like a vow I made
Every road I walk keeps pulling me your way
Like my heart knew yours before that day
I tried to bury what I couldn’t explain
Tried to run from every ounce of pain
But every time I looked into your eyes
I found a reason I was still alive
[Pre-Chorus]
And I kept it locked up deep inside
Like if I spoke, I’d lose the light
But holding back has torn me through
And all that’s left is loving you
[Chorus]
Six letters, one forever
One heart that beats for you alone
One truth I can’t surrender
One place that always feels like home
And if this world came crashing down
There’s only one thing I’d hold onto
Six letters, one forever
And every part of me is you
[Verse 2]
I’ve traced your name across my thoughts at night
Like some prayer I keep to make things right
And every piece of me keeps reaching out
For the life with you I dream about
I don’t want pieces, I want all of it
The highs, the lows, the moments in between
I want your hand when life gets heavy
I want your heart where mine has been
[Bridge]
Maybe love was always meant to hurt this way
Maybe truth was never meant to stay contained
Cause every second that I held this in
Felt like losing you before we could begin
And if forever’s just a word
Then let me be the proof
Cause every beat inside my chest
Has only ever moved for you
[Build-Up]
I’m done with silence
Done pretending
Done with hiding what is real
This is everything I’ve carried
This is everything I feel
[Final Chorus]
Shelby… Shelby…
You’re the reason that my heart still beats
Shelby… Shelby…
You’re the only one I’ll ever need
Shelby, hear me, hear me now
I’ve loved you louder than I’ve said out loud
Shelby, take this heart of mine
It’s been yours long before tonight
Six letters, one forever
One name I’ll carry till I’m gone
One love that changed me for the better
One truth I’ve known all along
And if forever has a meaning
It starts and ends with loving you
Shelby… Shelby…
Everything I am belongs to you
[Outro]
Six letters
One forever
One name that saved me
Shelby.
