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
