Forever & Always
Taylor Swift · Fearless [2010]
I believe it was a Tuesday
When I caught your eye
And we caught onto something
I hold onto the night
You looked me in the eye
And told me you loved me
Were you just kidding?
Cause it seems to me
This thing is breaking down
We almost never speak
I don't feel welcome anymore
Baby what happened
Please tell me
Cause one second it was perfect
Now you're halfway out the door
And I stare at the phone
He still hasn't called
And then you feel so low
You can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when
He said forever and always
O-oh ah-oh
And it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here
And it rains when you're gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
Was I out of line?
Did I say something way too honest
Made you run and hide
Like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes
Thought I knew you for a minute
Now I'm not so sure
So here's to everything
Coming down to nothing
Used a silence
That cuts me to the core
Where is this going?
Thought I knew for a minute
But I don't anymore
And I stare at the phone
He still hasn't called
And then you feel so low
You can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when
He said forever and always
O-oh ah-oh
And it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here
And it rains when you're gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
You didn't mean it baby
I don't think so
Oh ho-oh
Oh, back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything?
Back up, baby, back up
Did you forget everything?
Cause it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here
And it rains when you're gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
Oh, I stare at the phone
He still hasn't called
And then you feel so low
You can't feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when
We said forever and always
And it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong
It rains when you're here
And it rains when you're gone
Cause I was there when you said
Forever and always
You didn't mean it baby
You said forever and always, yeah
