Forever Was Just a Word

Forever Was Just a Word Don Loyd © 2026 (Verse 1) I used to trace it on my palm, A whisper in the dark, A fragile, hopeful, childlike psalm, A promise with no spark. I spoke it at a thousand graves, I swore it to the moon, But it was just a word I gave, That always ended too soon. Verse 2 Then you walked in without a sound, And time began to bend, The future I had never found, Was standing at the end. Of every doubt and every fear, Of every restless fight, You looked at me and pulled me near, And turned the dark to light. Chorus Oh, forever was just a word, A pretty lie I used to say, A fleeting, hollow sound I heard, That always drifted away. But in your eyes, I saw the proof, A truth I can't unlearn— The moment that I looked at you, Forever was just a word... ...Until it wasn't. Verse 3 I used to count the ticking clocks, Afraid of what would end, I built my life on sturdy locks, With no one to defend. But you just smiled and broke them all, Not with a crashing sound, But with a gentle, patient call, That turned my world around. Chorus Oh, forever was just a word, A pretty lie I used to say, A fleeting, hollow sound I heard, That always drifted away. But in your eyes, I saw the proof, A truth I can't unlearn— The moment that I looked at you, Forever was just a word... ...Until it wasn't. Bridge Now I don't need a promise made of stone, I don't need a vow upon a page, Because I've finally found a love I've known, Will only grow with age. It's in the way you hold my hand, It's in the quiet we both keep, It's in the future we both plan, While the rest of the world's asleep. (Final Chorus – Powerful, building) Oh, forever was just a word, A ghost that I would chase, A dream I feared would go unheard, A smile without a face. But now I breathe it, feel it true, It lives in every turn— The moment I surrendered you, Forever wasn't just a word... It was a promise I could learn. (Outro – Soft, fading) It wasn't just a word... It was the sound of you... Finally coming home.
