We Never Had Our Forever

We Never Had Our Forever [Verse 1] I still remember that September rain Your hand in mine on that midnight train We talked about forever like we knew That every road would lead me back to you Your picture's still inside my phone I tell myself I'm better off alone But every time the city falls asleep You're the only memory I keep [Pre-Chorus] If I had stayed If you had turned around Would we still be together now? If I had said The words I couldn't say Would you have chosen me to stay? [Chorus] We never had our forever We only had a beautiful goodbye I thought that time would make it better But I still see you every time I close my eyes We never had our forever Just promises we couldn't keep alive If I could live that night all over I'd hold you close And never let you walk out of my life [Verse 2] I heard you're doing better without me Someone else is where I used to be I smiled and said that I was happy too But every lie still sounded just like you Maybe love was never meant to stay Maybe some hearts only meet to break But if loving you became my biggest scar I'd still choose you exactly as you are [Bridge] Do you ever think about that night? Do you ever wonder if we could've made it right? Maybe you've forgotten everything we knew But somewhere in my heart I'm still standing there with you [Final Chorus] We never had our forever But you were still the best part of my life And even though we're not together A piece of you will always stay inside We never had our forever And maybe that's the hardest truth tonight If someday we meet again as strangers I'll smile and say *I'm glad you were once mine* Then I'll turn away And finally say goodbye
