  • I had high hopes for us baby
    Like I was on dope for us baby
    Chasin' after a high that I'll 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 forever these days, hey
    And I try to believe that we could make it
    But trying don't work, so I just have to face that forever
    Doesn't last too long forever these days, hey

    Still think about the good times we had
    And how you used to make me laugh
    But baby I know most times we were meant to revolve
    So every time I wanna call, baby what always helps
    Is when I think of the pain, and realize
    I'm better off by myself

    'Cause forever, doesn't last too long forever
    Doesn't last too long forever
    Doesn't last too long forever these days, hey
    And I try to believe that we could make it
    But trying don't work, so I just have to face that forever
    Doesn't last too long forever these days, hey

    Lord knows I gave it my all
    I couldn't save us from falling
    Cause some people aren't meant to be together forever forever

    'Cause forever, doesn't last too long forever
    Doesn't last too long forever
    Doesn't last too long forever these days, hey
    And I try to believe that we could make it
    But trying don't work, so I just have to face that forever
    Doesn't last too long forever these days, hey Writer/s: CHARLES HARMON, JAZMINE SULLIVAN
