We say forever but we, we mean for now
We never learn
I though I had you, had it figured out
I never learn
And I've been trying to hold my breath
Been trying to love you to death
You came up to me, you said "come on in"
You said "you're family"
You saw right through me, I was made of glass
And you saw a heart you could break
And you said "hey, you're safe"
But how could you have known that I was built to be alone
How could I have known that you were too
We never saw it til we took each other's hands
And said I do
We say I promise but we mean don't let me down
Won't you stand still as I walk away
I thought I knew just how it'd feel to see you go
I didn't know I'd beg you stay
But how could you have known that I would never feel at home
Even though I said it every day
And how could you have known that I was built to be alone
Or did you think that you could make me change
We say forever but we, we mean for now
We never learn
