Ivan B
Are You Here Forever
[Verse 1: Ivan B]
Is it meant to be?
Is it meant for me?
You my future or future memory?
The closer you get the more I let everything get to me
I know I can be a lot
Praying to God every night
Hope my anxiety stops
Gave you the key to my heart but I got millions of locks
Millions of doubts in my thoughts
Been weighing me down like collections of rocks
I'm anchored by fear
I just live at the docks
You make me feel strong when I feel like I'm not
You're all that I want I'll give all that I've got
Thank God, thank God
That he sent me his favorite angel
Perfect at every angle
Wears the brightest halo, yeah
You're perfect
You're worth it
I think it's time you heard it
You're that type of blessing that for me is hard to word it
I know that this life can, can get the both of us
Make us question what the true motive was
Anger's forgetting what you truly love, and I
Know that's you
Overthinking just like you
Yeah, this life is pushing back but I know we pushing too
Yeah, I know this feeling new
I know sometimes we're just confused
I know you're scared to think it's true with everything to lose 'cause
[Chorus: COLE]
I just want relief
Praying that you don't leave
It's hard for me to believe
That you want me for me
All my thoughts tangled up
Telling me to give up
Promise me that it's us even if we get stuck
(Ohhhh)
Are you here forever?
(Ohhhh)
We can do this together
(Ohhhh)
Tell me things will get better
(Ohhhh)
'Cause I'm here forever
(Ohhhh)

[Verse 2: Ivan B]
Self-defensive when I feel the tension
Hard talks to interventions
Closed off, feel unprotected
Stay quiet, unexpected
Not you as my self-reflection
Wish I, sometimes, could be like the man that I should be
You deserve that, and I will be
Love's overpriced, you could bill me
Build you heaven on earth 'til it kills me
Yeah, yeah
Hold up, wait, I just wanna set it straight
Yeah you got the cutest face
Dreams, you the one I chase
Stay close, it'll be safe
Feel great on a weak day
Mood swing but I make way
Smile 'cause you look great
Best looking one here even when we both look grey, yeah
Tell me what you need and I got it
I'm faced with lots of regrets, girl
A lot of things I'm not proud of
I'm overly guarded
Looking for self esteem that's departed
I've been looking at these numbers like I gotta go harder
I'm glad that you're here
Hold you closer, show you my fears
Show you what it's like when somebody cares
I'll give you all I can bear
You can take my heart just to wear
Like it's always meant to be there
When forever's over I just hope that you're there, 'cause
[Chorus: COLE]
I just want relief
Praying that you don't leave
It's hard for me to believe
That you want me for me
All my thoughts tangled up
Telling me to give up
Promise me that it's us even if we get stuck
(Ohhhh)
Are you here forever?
(Ohhhh are you here? are you here?)
We can do this together
(Ohhhh are you here?)
Tell me things will get better
(Ohhhh)
'Cause I'm here forever
(Ohhhh)
I'm here, I'm here
(Ohhhh)
