Você Disse Que Era Pra Sempre

You said
And I believed

You said my name slowly
Like someone who won't let go
You spoke of us as home
As if time would stop

I kept everything in silence
Every phrase, every glance
Without realizing that forever
Was already starting to end

You grew distant
Even while being here
And I tried to be strong
To not stop you

You said it was forever
Said it looking in my eyes
Said it like someone who stays
But you left me alone afterwards

I waited for you like someone who loves
Even seeing everything fall apart
You said it was forever
And I made it everything within me

The nights learned my name
When you didn't come back
Silence became company
Since the day you changed

I smiled to not 'cause worry
But it hurt to breathe
Promises also hurt
When they choose not to stay

You moved on without explaining
Without looking back
And I was left trying to understand
What in us was not enough

You said it was forever
And I trusted without fear
You said you would choose me
But chose to leave first

I waited for you like someone who loves
Even seeing everything crumble
You said it was forever
But only I stayed here

Maybe I loved too much
Or you, too little
Maybe forever for you
Was never that serious

You said it was forever
And I made it my home
You made it a moment
That you could abandon

Today I carry on, even though it hurts
Learning to exist
You said it was forever
But forever chose to leave

Some promises don't break
They stay with the one who believed
