Prompt / Lyrics
I said forever… But I didn’t know what that meant ⸻ [Verse 1] I said “you’re the one” in the heat of the moment Held your face like I’d never let go of it Made you feel safe, made you feel seen But I was just sayin’ what I thought love means You were lookin’ at me like I hung the moon I was just hopin’ I’d believe it soon Didn’t cheat, didn’t lie — not out loud But I left you long before I walked out ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – soft, real] You said, “Don’t break me if you don’t stay” And I swore to God I’d never stray But promises come easy in the dark When you don’t feel the weight of a heart ⸻ [Chorus – haunting and honest] I didn’t mean forever I just meant “for now, this feels better” I said the right words, in the wrong way Built a house of love on my bad days I didn’t mean forever But you believed me like I’d never Say something I couldn’t stand behind Guess I fooled us both this time ⸻ [Verse 2] You gave me more than I ever deserved And I still made you question your worth Told you “it’s not you” like that helps When I barely knew myself I replay every word I didn’t say When I watched you cry and walked away You deserved someone who meant it all Not someone scared to fall ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – full emotion] You said, “Don’t love me if you’re not sure” And I still opened every door Then locked ‘em when you stepped inside ‘Cause I was never ready to ride ⸻ [Chorus – repeat, layered vocals now] I didn’t mean forever I just meant “for now, this feels better” I said the right words, in the wrong way Built a house of love on my bad days I didn’t mean forever But you believed me like I’d never Break the one thing I said I’d protect Now all I got’s your silhouette ⸻ [Bridge – quiet, almost whisper] If I could go back, I’d say nothin’ at all ’Cause forever ain’t cheap when you mean it small ⸻ [Outro – fading, emotional vocal] I didn’t mean forever… But you did. And that’s what kills me.
