[Verse 1]
I wanted forever
But you could never promise me that
I wanted love
But you left what you had
You wore your maybe like a ring
Kept me waiting on the edge
I held your name in both my hands
You let it fall and never looked back
[Pre-Chorus]
You said ur not a forever type of guy
And I heard it clear tonight
No soft excuse, no alibi
Just the truth in your eyes
[Chorus]
I wanted forever
(yeah, forever)
Hand on my heart, I want to cry
I wanted forever
(but forever)
You were never that kind
[Verse 2]
I kept the room warm for two
While you were halfway out the door
I gave you all the tender parts
You kept asking for more
Now every photo cuts me sharp
Every little thing you said
Rings like glass inside my chest
And I can’t unhear it yet
[Pre-Chorus]
You said ur not a forever type of guy
And I heard it clear tonight
No soft excuse, no alibi
Just the truth in your eyes
[Chorus]
I wanted forever
(yeah, forever)
Hand on my heart, I want to cry
I wanted forever
(but forever)
You were never that kind
[Bridge]
Maybe I loved the almost
Maybe I loved your could’ve been
But I’m done making a home
In the space between your yes and then
So take your drifting hands
Take the part of you that stays unsure
I will be the one who leaves
With my heart bruised, but stronger than before
[Final Chorus]
I wanted forever
(yeah, forever)
Hand on my heart, I want to cry
I wanted forever
(but forever)
You were never that kind
I wanted forever
(yeah, forever)
Now I’m choosing me tonight
I wanted forever
(but forever)
And I’ll survive this goodbye
