Now and Forever

It’s funny, everyone’s taken this opportunity to take their leave,

While I sit here and watch them go, filling me with all this grief.

I can’t say I blame them though,

I’m a fucking time bomb, waiting to be relieved.

Too many battles waging in my head,

To think about the man who’s just left my bed.

To consider the hole he left in his place,

You’re the one person I’ll forever struggle to replace…

I’m glad you’ve found someone who gives you a reason to go on,

But with me you always seemed so fucking withdrawn…

I thought I could be everything you needed me to be,

But I guess I could never be enough for you, for that I’m sorry.

I love you, let those be the last words I ever say,

I know you don’t believe it, you’d never fall for a cliché.

But it’s true, you’re the glue that’s held me together,

Promised I’d stand by you no matter the weather.

But now you’re off with her, already found someone better.

But you’ll always have my heart, now and forever.

So take your leave, say goodbye.

I’m tired of paying the iron price.

All my love and all these fights,

So damn done with restless nights.

Call it quits, take your bow.

You’ll move on, you know how.

You said forever, this ends now.

I’ll always love you, somewhere, somehow.
