Didn’t Mean Forever

(filtered pad + chopped vocal)

You said we’d see how it goes

Guess we did

⸻

Streetlights blinking like they know my name

Same way home but it don’t feel the same

You said “don’t read too much into this”

I tried, I swear, but I missed the hint

⸻

I was building something you were passing through

I was falling fast, you were killing time

⸻

(melodic lead carries the hook)

You didn’t mean forever

I heard it wrong

Thought it was us

You meant not long

⸻

Your laugh still lives in my phone

Voice notes I won’t erase

Funny how “I’m good” sounds fake

When I say it to your face

⸻

(stripped, almost silent)

If I’d known

I would’ve loved you quieter

⸻

(full but controlled)

Didn’t mean forever

I just thought you did
