Lyrics of Forever by Lewis Capaldi

verse

Caught me off guard
I wish that I′d been sober
Still, here we are
Back in Hanover 99
Just like old times all over
Under the exit lights
As beautiful as ever
I really wish that I
Dressed up a little better
No regrets is what we said
We can't go back again

chorus

Darling, nobody said that it would last forever
That doesn′t mean we didn't try to get there
I never said that we would die together
That doesn't mean it was a lie
Remember, nobody said that it would last forever

verse

Head in my hands
Cold coffee on the table
Wish you the best
I would if I was able
Morning light
It stings a little
Out of my mind
I don′t remember calling
Had too much tonic wine
Sometimes it does the talking
Hope you know
I wished you all the love you′re looking for

chorus

Darling, nobody said that it would last forever
That doesn't mean we didn′t try to get there
I never said that we would die together
That doesn't mean it was a lie
Remember, nobody said that it would last forever

Nobody said that it would last forever

outro

They'll never take those long summer days
When love was untamed
Two burning hearts are dared to break
Remember, nobody said that it would last forever
