Jazmine Sullivan – Forever Don’t Last Lyrics

I had high hopes for us, baby
Like I was on dope for us, baby¹
Chasin’ after a high that I’d never get back again²
So we turn into three long years
And it became painfully clear that we,
We would never see those days again³

But I guess forever, doesn’t last too long forever
Doesn’t last too long forever
Doesn’t last too long these days, hey⁴
And I tried to believe that we could make it⁵
But trying don’t work, so I just have to face that forever
Doesn’t last too long these days, hey⁶

Still think about the good times we had
And how you used to make me laugh
But, baby, I know most times we were miserable⁷
So every time I wanna call, baby, what always helps
Is when I think of the pain, and I realize
I’m better off by myself⁸

‘Cause forever, doesn’t last too long forever
Doesn’t last too long forever
Doesn’t last too long these days, hey
And I tried to believe that we could make it
But trying don’t work, so I just have to face that forever
Doesn’t last too long these days, hey

Lord knows I gave it my all and
I couldn’t save us from falling⁹
‘Cause some people ain’t meant to be together forever forever¹⁰

‘Cause forever, doesn’t last too long forever
Doesn’t last too long forever
Doesn’t last too long these days, hey
And I tried to believe that we could make it
But trying don’t work, so I just have to face that forever
Doesn’t last too long forever these days, hey¹¹
