[Verse 1 — male voice, sparse piano, single notes]
I know I wasn’t perfect, I threw stones inside our house
Said the wrong things at the wrong times, let the silence knock me out
But I never once stopped loving you, not for a single day
So tell me why I’m on this floor while you just walked away
[Pre-Chorus — male voice, chords thicken]
Two years of “you’re the one,” two years of “I’m not leaving”
Two years I built a life on words I thought that I could believe in
[Chorus — male voice, full chords, vocal cracking]
You said forever like a promise, said it like a vow
I’m still down here in the wreckage, you don’t even turn around
How do you sleep at night when you were someone’s everything?
How do you call it love when all you ever did was sting?
[Verse 2 — male voice, back to sparse]
I played my part, I’m not the hero, I made mistakes, I own the blame
But you took my heart and made it target practice, laughed and called it a game
I hit the bottom of myself, a place I never thought I’d be
Wondering how the girl who swore forever could be this cruel to me
[Pre-Chorus - male voice]
Two years of “you’re the one,” two years of “I’m not leaving”
Now you are just a cautionary tale, a stranger that i’m grieving
[Chorus - male voice]
You said forever like a promise, said it like a vow
I’m still down here in the wreckage, you don’t even turn around
How do you sleep at night when you were someone’s everything?
How do you call it love when all you ever did was sting?
[Bridge — female voice, spoken/half-sung over bare piano, dissonant]
“I tell everyone they’re my forever, I’ll never leave them, no—
It’s not my fault you’re a pathetic fool who believed it was so.
You wanted a fairytale, baby, so I gave you the line
Don’t blame me ’cause you were stupid enough to think it was mine to give.”
[Verse 3 — male voice returns, quiet, just piano and breath]
And still I’d take you back tomorrow, still I’d hold that broken hand
‘Cause love was never conditional, it wasn’t part of the plan
To only stay when it’s easy, to only love when it’s fair —
I loved you when you were breaking me, I’ll love you standing here
[Final Chorus — male voice, full dynamic swell]
You said forever like a promise, I believed every word
Maybe that’s on me for loving someone I never should’ve heard
But I don’t regret a second, even drowning, even bruised
‘Cause love was never about winning — I just never thought I’d lose you
[Outro — male voice, stripped back to a single piano line, fading]
Forever person, forever fool
Guess I loved you like there were no rules
No conditions, no boundaries, no walking away —
I’m still your forever
Even on the day you left me here to break.
