[Intro]
Sometimes I think about those days
When we wore fake smiles on our face
Pretending that we were happy
When nothing could be further from the truth
I convinced myself
The life I was living was good enough
Trapped together
To have and to hold
In sickness and in health
Until death do we part

[Verse]
But nothing lasts forever
Goodbye to you
I want you to know
This was the hardest thing
I've ever had to do
So goodbye to you
I will always remember
What it felt like to be broken in two
I awoke from my life one day
Like it had all been a dream
Once so blind it was sickening
I forced myself to move on
And watched you fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
And even though I miss you
That doesn't mean I need you in my life
After everything we've been through
It took me all this time to finally say goodbye

[Chorus]
This is a chance for me
To finally get a few things off my chest
It's been so hard to admit
I wish the best for you
Just thought you should know
That I forgive you
And not a day goes by
When I don't wonder what my life could be like
I guess we'll never know
What we could've been
Because the past is dead

[Breakdown]
Nothing lasts forever
That's what you said to me
So let's mourn the ghost
Of what we will never be
Nothing lasts forever
The words are always on repeat
So let's bury the corpse
Of what we were and finally, be free
[Pre-Chorus]
And even though I miss you
That doesn't mean I need you in my life
After everything we've been through
It took me all this time to finally say goodbye

[Chorus]
This is a chance for me
To finally get a few things off my chest
It's been so hard to admit
I wish the best for you
Just thought you should know
That I forgive you
And not a day goes by
When I don't wonder what my life could be like
I guess we'll never know
What we could've been
Because the past is dead
