Almost forever

You used to talk about a wedding ring

Front porch nights and little dreams

Said my name like it meant forever

Now forever doesn’t mean a thing

I stayed patient through the lies

Believed every “wrong time” excuse you’d hide behind

While I was building us a future

You were crossing every line

Pre-Chorus

Now I hear you got somebody new

But somehow you still circle back through

Trying to talk to people close to me

Like heartbreak wasn’t deep enough already

Chorus

You broke my heart in slow motion

Left me drowning in false devotion

Promised forever, then disappeared

Left me loving someone insincere

Now you’re out here acting single and free

Trying to get close to my friends to reach me

But you lost the one who stayed through everything

When you threw away almost forever for a temporary thing

Verse 2

I remember crying on the phone at night

Begging you to just make things right

You’d say “soon,” you’d say “trust me”

While giving your attention elsewhere behind my back quietly

And the saddest part to me

Is I still miss who you pretended to be

Not the man you turned out becoming

But the version that sold me dreams

Pre-Chorus

Now every promise sounds like noise

Every “I love you” feels destroyed

You taught me pain can wear a smile

And betrayal can wait awhile

Chorus

You broke my heart in slow motion

Left me drowning in false devotion

Promised forever, then disappeared

Left me loving someone insincere

Now you’re out here acting single and free

Trying to get close to my friends to reach me

But you lost the one who stayed through everything

When you threw away almost forever for a temporary thing

Bridge

One day you’ll realize

Loyal love is hard to find

And the girl who would’ve built a life with you

Finally chose herself this time

Final Chorus

Yeah you broke my heart completely

But you don’t get to keep me weakly

I’m done begging for a love unclear

Done shedding all these wasted tears

And if she gets the version I deserved

That’ll hurt, but I still know my worth

You lost somebody real when you let me leave

Now you just live with almost forever and me
