Lyrics

(Verse 1)
We were fire on a Friday, slow burn on a Sunday
Talked like forever was comin' our way
You said you'd never leave, and I wanted to believe
But baby, truth has a cruel kinda fade

(Pre-Chorus)
Now the house feels colder, the silence gets loud
Your coffee cup's still in the sink somehow

(Chorus)
We almost said forever, right there in the dark
You almost wore my last name, I almost gave my heart
You held it like a secret you never planned to keep
And I held on too tight to the lie I let me believe
Now I'm drinkin' down the memories you never meant to sever
Yeah, we almost said forever... but we didn't mean forever

(Verse 2)
There's a dent in the door where you kicked it that night
And a picture on the floor from better times
I still wear your flannel when I can't sleep
It's the only thing that still holds me

(Pre-Chorus)
A ghost in the mirror, a past in the glass
I keep wishin' away what's already passed

(Chorus)
We almost said forever, right there in the dark
You almost wore my last name, I almost gave my heart
You held it like a secret you never planned to keep
And I held on too tight to the lie I let me believe
Now I'm drinkin' down the memories you never meant to sever
Yeah, we almost said forever... but we didn't mean forever

(Bridge)
Now I see it clear in the rearview pain
You were never stayin', just passin' through my name

(Final Chorus)
We almost said forever, like it meant somethin' real
But I guess your version of love don't know how to feel
You held it like a habit, I wore it like a vow
And I'm tryin' to let go, but I don't know how
So I toast to what we could've been with this last whatever
Yeah, we almost said forever... but we didn't mean forever

(Outro)
No, we didn't mean forever...
We just meant "for now."
