For Forever from GAMES by Jordy Burns

'For Forever' is about being in a beautiful heartfelt relationship with someone who wants to call it forever. Coming from a list of toxic, heartbroken relationships, my heart wasn’t ready for that sort of commitment. There were many ups and downs to the point where we both knew there were things that we needed to say but didn’t want to because there was still so much love. I almost wanted to avoid seeing them to avoid having to have hard conversation where our goals weren’t necessarily aligned. Its about loving someone a whole lot but not wanting to let them down.

Lyrics

I don’t want you to come home tonight
Cause then I’ll have to tell a lie tonight
There’s things that we don’t want to say tonight, we feel the same tonight, in different ways tonight

You’re hand on my heart yet Im a million miles away
I can’t look you in the eye or else I’ll never say

Darling please don’t ask for forever
Cause everything feels like pretending
I’m sorry but when you see me laughing I’m hiding the pain that you know I won’t say
Darling please don’t ask for forever
Cause I’m not coming home in September
And every time I hold back my heart aches, it hurts you, but each time we both know you’ll stay

There’s only one way this can end tonight
When every kiss feels like goodbye and I
Wish we could go back to the start and I could reignite the light, but we can’t change the time

Its the little things that you say
And the little hints that I don’t take
Its the little things you won’t say
And the little smiles that I still fake
Its been getting under me and my
Its been getting under me and my
