Should have been forever

Verse 1  
He was front porch sunsets and gravel road dust  
A steady hand I thought I could trust  
Said all the right words, wore that old ball cap  
But forever ain’t something you take back  

Pre-Chorus  
I saw a future in his eyes so blue  
Guess I wasn’t the picture he was looking to  

Chorus  
He should’ve been my forever, my always and amen  
But he chose a wildfire I could never pretend  
She’s everything I ain’t, yeah, the opposite of me  
Where I’m quiet, she’s reckless, where I stay, she runs free  
Now I’m just a memory he let slip away  
While he’s chasing a storm I could never be  
He should’ve been my forever… but he chose her over me  

Verse 2  
I was small-town roots, Sunday morning grace  
She’s neon lights and a fast-paced chase  
I held him close when the world got hard  
She deals in hearts like a deck of cards  

Pre-Chorus  
I gave him love that was tried and true  
Guess he needed something I could never do  

Chorus  
He should’ve been my forever, my always and amen  
But he chose a wildfire I could never pretend  
She’s everything I ain’t, yeah, the opposite of me  
Where I’m steady, she’s chaos, like a runaway breeze  
Now I’m just a story he don’t wanna replay  
While he’s dancing with a flame I could never be  
He should’ve been my forever… but he chose her over me  

Bridge  
Maybe one day when the smoke clears out  
He’ll see what love was all about  
But I won’t be waiting where he left my heart  
Some things break and stay apart  

Final Chorus  
He should’ve been my forever, but forever slipped away  
He traded in a home for a high he couldn’t stay  
She’s everything I ain’t, and I won’t try to be  
‘Cause the right kind of love won’t make you feel like me  
Now I’m closing the door, letting go of what could be  
He should’ve been my forever…  
But forever ain’t him for me  

Outro  
Yeah, forever ain’t him…  
And that’s how it’s gonna be
