Thought it’d be forever and I’d never leave
Lost everything at once but I didn’t grieve
Kept telling me the truth I just won’t believe
Want the memory forever so I ink the sleeve
I mean I dug deep here inside myself
So how’d I end up in this mess here all by myself
You were showing me the signs, all the cries for help
Even when we were together you were by yourself
I wasn’t man enough and wasn’t thinking
Couldn’t look in the mirror so I started drinking
I was always asleep but I was never blinking
All the facts were there but they would never sink in
I could change everything that’s me
Buy you anything you want like you’re royalty
But that window gone past and you’re not the queen
Now this is our forever and that’s guaranteed, peace
No love for the cursed, my head hurts
pick it up and Dive head first
If we make it out alive it still burns
She’ll never be to me what she once was
I can help that I want to be out of my mind
And I can’t help that I want to leave
Forever this time
We said forever, whatever we gotta fix this
Instead of growing together we grew in distance
Everything just changed in an instant
It's like you left and I never existed
Just a figment of your imagination
Gimme the time and liquor and let's waste it
Got you standing there swearing you missing me
And on my lips i can taste your toxicity
This intensity is bringing out your density
And like you said what is meant to be is meant to be
Well I guess we were meant to be foes
Let a hoe be a hoe, and I can show you the door
Like ok, well this was unexpected
This rejection resembles your complexion
Covered in deceit, with some blush for acceptance
Take your fake ass life and get to stepping
