Intro]
[Verse 1]
We met at a friend’s house, I was nineteen,
Carved our names in an aspen, young and green.
September skies blessed our vows in ’19,
Five years of laughter, love, and muddy scenes.
[Chorus]
Forever’s etched in bark, but time won’t bend,
You’re my world, but I’m lost in the pretend.
Three little hearts, caught in the spin,
Why’s love a w*r only I want to win?
[Verse 2]
You chase his shadow, shut me out again,
Act like our years were just a trend.
Our kids ask why home’s a broken rhyme,
And I’m here stranded, counting endless time.
[Chorus]
Forever’s etched in bark, but time won’t bend,
You’re my world, but I’m lost in the pretend.
Three little hearts, caught in the spin,
Why’s love a w*r only I want to win?
[Bridge]
Do I wait like a ghost, or break these chains?
You won’t let go, but I can’t stay in the flames.
He’s just a man—I’m the father, your vow,
But you’re tearing the roots from our aspen now.
[Outro]
