Forever Lost

You said stay and I did on the promise that you'd care

You said try and I did until there was nobody there

You said “forever?” and I said, “forever and always, I swear.”

But now sofas are getting sold and nobody's growing old

Because we're stuck on a loop replaying and rethinking what I could've said, or how you could've tried

Until everything is too much and there's no reason to survive

I said stay and you did on the promise that I’d care

I said try and you did until there was nobody there

I said “forever?” And you said, “forever and always, I swear.”

But I miss our walks round quiet tree lined paths

Because we were good, no great most of the time it wasn't even hard

In fact it was amazing when you would tell me about your day and we would always have a laugh

We said stay and we did until one day we couldn't bear

We said try and we did until we were strangers that still cared

We said forever, but I just turned around, and nobody was there
