I promise it's not you, it's me.
We never had a chance.
It's because of mistakes I've made
And things I regret I said.
I'd fall for you again.
I can't control what's real.
You were perfect but perfect timing wasn't ours.
I've still got scars to heal.
I believe what you say
But I won't let myself fall too hard
Cause I know what it feels like to hit the bottom.
No, it's not fair
But that's what you get
When you love a fool who said forever once.
I've heard the lines before
Even everything new I think I'll hear it again.
You're exactly what I dreamt I'd find
But I know better than most how love leaves you blind
You can't imagine how it feels
To love but keep myself from giving in enough to ever say it back
Ones before they left their mark, keeping me separate from you arms
That's what I get for saying forever once
I meant every word but if I'd cared more for myself
I'd have been the first to walk away.
Believing it back then makes believing you right now
Feel like it did when I let myself say forever once
How can I be sure, you mean to say it, forever, just this once.
