[Verse 1 – Her]
I still park where we used to talk,
Watch the sun bleed out across the dock,
Your jacket’s hangin’ on the backroom chair,
Like maybe you’ll come get it, maybe you’ll care.
I still check my phone past midnight,
Knowing damn well you ain’t gonna write,
But I can’t help it — it’s muscle memory,
Reaching for a ghost that’s reachin’ for me.
[Chorus – Both]
We just stopped saying forever,
One day it slipped from our tongues,
Didn’t mean we stopped feelin’,
But we knew the damage was done.
No slammed doors, no last fight,
Just a silence that felt right,
Two hearts that couldn’t hold it together —
We just stopped saying forever.
[Verse 2 – Him]
I drive past that old café,
Where you swore you’d never fade away,
But time’s got a way of changin’ names,
Even the ones we carved in veins.
I still keep your letter in the dash,
Folded up like a photograph,
Guess some words never fade,
They just hurt a little less each day.
[Chorus – Both]
We just stopped saying forever,
One day it slipped from our tongues,
Didn’t mean we stopped feelin’,
But we knew the damage was done.
No slammed doors, no last fight,
Just a silence that felt right,
Two hearts that couldn’t hold it together —
We just stopped saying forever.
[Bridge – Her & Him, trading lines]
Her: I still dream of you some nights.
Him: I still see you in red tail lights.
Her: Guess love don’t end, it just fades slow.
Him: You move on, but you never let it go.
[Final Chorus – Both, softer]
We just stopped saying forever,
Like it didn’t mean a thing,
But I still hum our song sometimes,
When the radio starts to sing.
No goodbye, no clear line —
Just the end of your hand in mine,
Two hearts that couldn’t hold it together —
We just stopped saying forever.
