I still wake up to the sound of your goodbye
Echoed softly through the mess we left behind
Your hoodie's on the chair, I don't know why
I haven't moved it, I just pretend you're mine
Phone's still full of messages I can't erase
Little goodnights that used to mean so much
Now I read 'em just to see your name
And remember how it felt to feel your touch
We were laughin' in a parked car in the rain
Talkin' like the night would never end
Now I drive those streets alone again
Tryna find us in what's left of then
You feel forever in my heart tonight
Like a memory I can't rewrite
Even though you chose to walk away
You're the words I never got to say
And every song still sounds like you
Every dream feels half untrue
If love was real, then tell me why?
You feel forever, but we said goodbye
I still pass the place where we first met
You were late, but I was smilin' anyway
Funny how the smallest things are hard to forget
Like how you'd always find the perfect words to say
Your name still slips when I talk to friends
Like my heart didn't get the truth yet
They say time will help me understand
But time just hasn't taught me to forget
We were plannin' out a life we couldn't keep
Dreamin' like we had it all in line
Now I'm lyin' here losin' sleep
Over somethin' that was never really mine
You feel forever in my heart tonight
Like a shadow standin' in the light
Even though you're somewhere far from me
You're the part I couldn't set free
And every tear still feels so new
Like I'm still in love with you
If movin' on is what I should do
Why does forever still feel like you?
Maybe we were right, but at the wrong time
Maybe love just wasn't enough
We had something real, something hard to find
But real still breaks when it gets too tough
And I hate that I still check my phone
Hoping somehow you'll change your mind
But deep down, I already know
You've already left me behind
You feel forever in every empty space
In every stranger's face
I try to run, but I can't replace what we were
You feel forever in my heart tonight
Like a wound that heals, but holds on tight
Even though I'm learnin' to let go
You're the love I'll always know
And every scar still says your name
A quiet kind of lasting pain
If I loved you once, then it's still true
Forever will always feel like you
So I'll carry you in all I do
And who I am, and who I'll be
Even if I'm no longer with you
You're still a part of me
You're still a part of me
