THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOREVER

We built a life on promises,
on dreams of you and me,
In a house of love,
under skies so wide and free.
But now these walls just echo
with the words we never say,
And as I walk these rooms,
I feel us fading away.

I'm looking at our pictures,
our smiles frozen in time,
When we had each other's heart,
and our love was in its prime.
But the laughter now is gone,
replaced by silent stares,
In the garden of our love,
not a thing is blooming there.

CHORUS:
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOREVER,
Our hearts, our dreams, together,
But here I am,
holding on to whatever,
Wondering how forever
turned into never.

The ring upon my finger,
just a piece of the past,
A symbol of love
that I thought was built to last.
I find myself asking,
where did we lose our way,
In the story of us,
how did forever fade to gray?

So here is to the love lost
and what lies ahead,
To the dreams that we shared,
and the tears that we shed.
You will be a love
that I'll always remember,
But I'm moving on,
to my next forever.

CHORUS:
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOREVER,
Our hearts, our dreams, together,
But here I am,
holding on to whatever,
Wondering how forever
turned into never.
