Here Forever

You think I'll stay forever?
The clock runs out

I stood through each rough goodbye
Covered your mess, let reason slide
You drifted on without a care
While I remained just standing there

You thought that I would never go
But even hearts can sink so low
I gave it all, but now I see
You only thought about what worked for you, not we

You took from me like there's no end
Like I'm a loop you'd always bend
But I've got drive, I've got control
And now I'm rising, taking hold

You think I'll be here forever
Holding on through each whatever
Done with the strain, done with the chain
Not gonna stay just to feel the same
You think I'll keep this all in place
As if I live just for your face
But I've got plans, I've got my center
No, I won't be here forever

Your promises were paper-thin
You'd break then ask to start again
I built a life while you just played
Now I'm the one who walks away

You think I'll freeze while you decide
But I've got strength you never tried
This isn't fear
This is the close of a chapter that you chose

You took from me like there's no end
Thought I was built to just defend
But I've got focus and I've got drive
And now I stand fully alive

You think I'll be here forever
Holding on through each whatever
Done with the strain, done with the chain
Not gonna stay just to feel the same
You think I'll keep this all in place
As if I live just for your face
But I've got plans, I've got my center
No, I won't be here forever

I gave you truth, and you gave just maybe
But I won't spin here waiting, I'm out

You think I'll be here forever
Living like this is a favor
But I've got vision and I've got power
And I'm stepping free this very hour
You think I'll keep this all in place
As if my path runs at your pace
But I'm alive and I remember
No, I won't be here forever

No, I won't be here forever, forever
This chapter's closed
It's gone
