[Verse 1]
I loved her quiet through all four years
From the hallway glances to the missed front-seat cheers
Never had the nerve, just had the dream
Of her in my arms and not in-between
Then late one night, the phone lit gold
Her voice said, “Hey… I’ve got no place to go”
Three years gone, but it still felt near
Said, “Come over—I’ll be right here”
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
She showed up in tears, smelling like smoke
Wearing my favorite kind of hope
⸻
[Chorus – Hook locked in]
We had all night—and it felt like forever
Her skin on mine, hearts tangled together
She whispered, “You were the one all along”
And I said it back like I’d known all along
The way she held me, like she’d never let go
Made me believe what I needed the most
I left for work thinking I finally had her
Came home to silence…
And forever was over
⸻
[Verse 2]
We talked ‘til the sky turned soft and gray
About all the times we threw “us” away
She said, “I always loved you—you just couldn’t see”
Then kissed me like she was setting us free
She fell asleep wearing nothing but truth
And my t-shirt hangin’ off her like proof
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I should’ve stayed…
But bills don’t wait
⸻
[Chorus – repeat stronger]
We had all night—and it felt like forever
Her skin on mine, hearts tangled together
She whispered, “You were the one all along”
And I said it back like I’d known all along
The way she held me, like she’d never let go
Made me believe what I needed the most
I left for work thinking I finally had her
Came home to silence…
And forever was over
⸻
[Bridge – stripped, haunting]
No note, no call, no second chance
Just the ghost of her in folded pants
I still check my phone some nights and wait
But forever don’t run late
⸻
[Final Chorus – full emotional lift]
We had all night—and it felt like forever
Every second, I still remember
The way she said, “This time it’s real”
Then vanished like it was no big deal
She gave me the ending I always prayed for
Then walked out like she owed me no more
I left for work thinking I finally had her
Came home to silence…
And forever was over
