This Forever's Gone
you used to love my laugh like I loved your jokes
we first met and the chemistry was growing in the sun
and people knew where this story would go
I had it all planned out, and jealousy was lerking in the shadows
'cause we were the lucky ones
now i'm walking myself home alone
you had to have it your way
I had to have it my way
can't have everything
but there's so many thoughts that I wish I said
so many words I wish I left back instead
Chorus:
now we're walking the same crowded rooms
but you won't look in my eyes
and when I swallow my pride to look at you
you won't catch my good light
i'm slowly dying inside, tell me you are too
I know this must be wrong
but they're telling me i've got to move on
this forever's gone
I never thought one day i'd have to find a new way
to make myself free from the stress in me
but you're making it clear to avoid me
I played it over again, that one day we'd be friends
and that empty space would be whole again
but you never showed, and the empty grieves
I never meant to hurt you
you're the one I run to
my heads spinning so confused
I wanna tell you I need you, it just can't wait
but the closer I get the further you walk away
Chorus:
now we're walking the same crowded rooms
but you won't look in my eyes
and when I swallow my pride to look at you
you won't catch my good light
i'm slowly dying inside, tell me you are too
I know this must be wrong
but they're telling me i've got to move on
this forever's gone
I know you're competitive
whoever tries less will get the win
but I've had enough of playing hide and seek
the ship is setting sail tonight
one last call for last goodbyes
please say you'd rather be lost at sea than without me
the time is fading, you've got so much to say
the captain is calling for final mistakes
Chorus:
now we're walking the same crowded rooms
but you won't look in my eyes
and when I swallow my pride to look at you
you won't catch my good light
i'm slowly dying inside, tell me you are too
I know this must be wrong
but they're telling me i've got to move on
this forever's gone
