Would Be Together Forever

[Verse 1]
You left your sweater on my chair
Still smells like late September air
We said "whatever comes
We’ll share"
Like we could bargain with the weather
[Chorus]
You said we would be together forever
Like it was carved into stone
Into bone
But forever turned into "hardly ever"
Now I am learning how to sleep alone
We said we would be together forever
Whispered it into the dark
Into doubt
Funny how a single word like "never"
Can turn a house into an echoing shout
[Verse 2]
Your coffee ring on my old desk
A tiny moon of what was left
I trace the circle with my thumb
Like it might open
Let you come back (oh)
[Chorus]
You said we would be together forever
Like it was carved into stone
Into bone
But forever turned into "hardly ever"
Now I am learning how to sleep alone
We said we would be together forever
Till all the clocks in our hands ran out
Now every second that we lost together
Is just a number that I count and count
[Bridge]
Maybe we were kids pretending
We could name the way things end
You said "love is never ending"
I believed you
Like a friend
Now the word forever tastes different
Sharp at the back of my tongue
I still say it in my head sometimes
As if the ending’s still unsung
[Chorus]
You said we would be together forever
Like it was carved into stone
Into bone
But forever turned into "hardly ever"
Now I am learning how to sleep alone
We said we would be together forever
And in a way
It might be true
‘Cause every quiet future I remember
Still has a little room for you

rock, Soft, melancholic indie rock with intimate male vocals, close-mic’d and almost whispered on the verses; brushed drums and warm, overdriven guitars in a slow backbeat. Choruses bloom with wider guitars, subtle organ pad, and stacked harmonies, then fall back into sparse, confessional space. Gentle bass glues everything, with a hazy reverb halo and a quiet guitar motif repeating like a fading memory., emotional, soft, indie rock
