[English]

I had high hopes for us, baby

Like I was on dope for us, baby

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 have to face that forever

Doesn't last too long 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 weren't meant to revolve

So every time I wanna call, baby, what always helps

Is when I think of the pain, and I 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 these days, hey

And I tried 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 these days, hey

Lord knows I gave it my all and

I couldn't save us from falling

'Cause some people aren't meant to be together forever, forever, yeah

...

'Cause 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 have to face that forever

Doesn't last too long these days, hey

...
