Don't Say Forever Tonight

We said we'd talk when the moment felt right
But the words never came
So we turned off the light
And you lay beside me

Trying to memorize what once was mine
In the quiet space we used to stay
But something was gone
I could feel it fade

And I knew it then
Without a sound
We were breaking down

So don't say forever tonight
Don't promise what we can't survive
Just stay here close while it still feels right
Before we disappear with time

No tears, no scene, no need to fight
Just let it end the way it died
In every word we never tried
To say out loud
Before goodbye

Morning came in through the cracks in the door
You didn't reach for me like you did before
No anger, no blame, just something erased
As if love had been lost without trace

I wanted to ask if you felt it too
But I already knew by the way you moved
In every second, every breath delayed
In the fragile conclusion of choice we made

And I felt it break
Not all at once
But like giving up

So don't say forever tonight
Don't promise what we can't survive
Just stay here close while it still feels right
Before we disappear with time

No tears, no scene, no need to fight
Just let it end the way it died
In every word we never tried
To say out loud
Before goodbye

If I hold you now, will it change a thing?
Or just make it harder to feel the end?
We're not who we were, we both can see
Still you're everything that remains in me

So don't say forever tonight
Don't turn this into one more lie
Just stay till the morning light
Then walk away and don't ask why

No tears, no scene, no last goodbye
No need to look me in the eyes
We said enough by saying less
And leaving love
Unfinished
