I had high hopes for us, babe
Like I was on dope for us, babe
Chasing after a high that
I'd never get back again
So we turn into three long years
And it became painfully clear that we
We would never see those days again
But I guess forever doesn't last too long
Forever doesn't last too long
Forever doesn't last too long these days, hey
And I tried to believe that we could make it
But trying don't work, so I just had to face that
Forever doesn't last too long these day
Aye, aye, aye, yeah
Still think about the good times we had
And how you used to make me laugh
But baby, I know most times we were miserable
So everytime I wanna call
Baby, what always helps
Is when I think of the pain
And I realize I'm better off by myself
Cuz forever doesn't last too long
Forever doesn't last too long
Forever doesn't last too long these days, hey
And I tried to believe that we could make it
But trying don't work, so I just had to face that
Forever doesn't last too long these days
Aye, aye, aye, yeah
Lord knows I gave it my all and
I couldn't save us from fallin'
Cuz some people aren't meant to be
Together, forever, forever, yeah
Cuz forever doesn't last too long
Forever doesn't last too long
Forever doesn't last too long these days, hey
And I tried to believe that we could make it
But trying don't work, so I just had to face that
Forever doesn't last too long these days
Aye, aye, aye, yeah
