Half of Forever (feat. Diane)

We stood beneath those church lights
Summer in the stained-glass glow
Your hand wrapped around my future
And I never let it go
You spoke about the years ahead
Like they were already ours
A little house, a little garden
Growing old beneath the stars
Looking back now
I wonder if you knew
That when we said forever
We meant two different truths
You gave me half of forever
I gave you all of me
I built my world around your promise
Like you were never gonna leave
I was holding onto forever
You were already halfway free
You gave me half of forever
I gave you all of me
I kept every photograph
Every ticket, every note
I thought love was something sacred
Not something you outgrow
I carried us through hard seasons
Believing we'd survive
Never knowing I was fighting
For a dream you'd left behind
We spoke the same words
But they didn't mean the same
I was building us a lifetime
You were building your escape
You gave me half of forever
I gave you all of me
I built my world around your promise
Like you were never gonna leave
I was holding onto forever
You were already halfway free
You gave me half of forever
I gave you all of me
Tell me when forever changed
Was it all at once or slow?
Did it happen in a moment
Or somewhere I didn't know?
'Cause I kept my side of the promise
Even after you were gone
Some vows don't stop existing
Just because one heart moved on
You gave me half of forever
I gave you all of me
Every prayer and every piece of
The woman I was meant to be
I was holding onto forever
Till forever let go of me
You gave me half of forever
But I gave you
All my forever
