Last Forever by Naomi King Lyrics
[Chorus]
You said we’d last forever
Why don’t you tell me why you lied?
You said we’d last forever
So don’t you tell me it’s alright
I know this story well
Oh, I know how it goes
It’s been lived and it’s been felt
And it’s made a million ghosts
How many others have you hurt and have you
Brought them to their knees?
How many others did your words make promise
Only to break free?
Well, how many others have you added to your shelf
Of broken dreams?
How many others did you build up only to break down, honey?
[Chorus]
I know this feeling well
Oh, I’ve had it for so long
And I’ve spread this word of hell
And I’ve spread a million songs
How many others did you hurt and did you
Bring them to their knees?
How many others did your words make promise
Only to break free?
Well, how many others did you add up to your shelf
Of broken dreams?
How many others did you build up only to break down like me?
[Chorus]
Oh, I know, I should have known
It was so clear, so in front of me
Oh, I know, I should have run
So many warnings were thrown at me
Oh, I know, I should have known
It was so clear, so in front of me
Oh, I know, I should have run
So many warnings were thrown at me
So many warnings were thrown at me
So many warnings
I knew this story well
I knew exactly how it’d go
[Chorus][x2]
Oh, don’t you tell me it’s alright
No, don’t you say that’s alright
You said we’d last forever
Why don’t you tell me why you lied?
You said we’d last forever
So don’t you tell me it’s alright
I know this story well
Oh, I know how it goes
It’s been lived and it’s been felt
And it’s made a million ghosts
How many others have you hurt and have you
Brought them to their knees?
How many others did your words make promise
Only to break free?
Well, how many others have you added to your shelf
Of broken dreams?
How many others did you build up only to break down, honey?
[Chorus]
I know this feeling well
Oh, I’ve had it for so long
And I’ve spread this word of hell
And I’ve spread a million songs
How many others did you hurt and did you
Bring them to their knees?
How many others did your words make promise
Only to break free?
Well, how many others did you add up to your shelf
Of broken dreams?
How many others did you build up only to break down like me?
[Chorus]
Oh, I know, I should have known
It was so clear, so in front of me
Oh, I know, I should have run
So many warnings were thrown at me
Oh, I know, I should have known
It was so clear, so in front of me
Oh, I know, I should have run
So many warnings were thrown at me
So many warnings were thrown at me
So many warnings
I knew this story well
I knew exactly how it’d go
[Chorus][x2]
Oh, don’t you tell me it’s alright
No, don’t you say that’s alright
