title : Forever's Just Another Word
It's just a word with seven letters,
Used to show how much you care.
Often used to express feelings,
That aren't really there.

Forever's just an empty promise.
Sugar-coated with lies.
Seemingly fixing things,
But my tears never dry.

Forever has no true meaning.
A promise not meant to keep.
While I toss and turn in bed,
You’re peacefully asleep.

Forever's just another word.
To hurt, to cause pain, to cry.
Forever's just another word,
That leads to a painful goodbye.
