Say It Was Forever

[Verse 1 – Her/female]
Your love was supposed to be forever,
That’s the promise you sold to my heart.
You said my name like it was sacred,
Now I’m picking up pieces in the dark.
Every word you swore was honest
Plays back like a lie on repeat.
I’m trying to build a life from ashes
With your footsteps still haunting me.

[Verse 2 – Him/male]
I know I broke what we were building,
I crossed a line I can’t erase.
I told myself it didn’t matter,
But I see the truth in your face.
She never meant a damn thing to me,
It was empty, it was wrong, it was fast.
I’d burn every mistake I made
If I could just have us back.

[Chorus – male and female both Together as a duet]
You said it was forever,
Now we’re standing in the wreckage of a lie.
Love don’t die easy,
Even when trust is left behind.
We’re holding on and letting go,
At the same damn time.
You said it was forever…
Now forever’s barely alive.

[Verse 1 – Her/female]
You don’t get to say you’re sorry
Like it erases all the pain.
I believed in every promise,
Now belief don’t feel the same.
I still love you, that’s the truth of it,
And that’s the part that hurts the most.
Because loving you means losing me
If I go back to what I know.

[Verse 2 – Him/male]
I still love you, baby girl,
I swear it’s always been you.
I know forgiveness isn’t easy,
But I’ll spend my life proving it’s true.
I’ll change my ways, I’ll break my habits,
I’ll be everything I failed to be.
Just give me one more chance to show you
You’re the only one I need.

[Chorus – male and female both Together as a duet]
You said it was forever,
Now we’re standing in the wreckage of a lie.
Love don’t die easy,
Even when trust is left behind.
We’re holding on and letting go,
At the same damn time.
You said it was forever…
Now forever’s barely alive.

[Bridge- call and response]
[Her/female] Love shouldn’t leave me bleeding inside.
[Him/male] I never meant to hurt you like this.
[Her/female] Promises don’t mean much when they break.
[Him/male] I’ll spend forever earning back yours.
[Her/female] I don’t know if love is enough now.
[Him/male] I’ll be patient, I’ll wait, I’ll fight.

[Final Chorus – Male and female both Together/duet (soft → powerful)]
You said it was forever,
And part of us still wants to believe.
But love needs truth to breathe again,
Not just apologies.
If we survive this broken road,
It won’t be the same we find.
You said it was forever…
Now forever’s on the line.
