Forever
Drew Jacobs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

September night, looking in your eyes
Watching it fall apart
Hand you back your things, taking off your ring
Could've kept the broken heart
I didn't need it
But you gave it anyway
Instead of leavin'
Girl, you should've stayed

Is it too late now?
Baby, won't you come back to me
Won't you tell yourself you ain't gotta leave
I need you, I want you
I'm wishing you were here
Is it too late now?
Baby, won't you come back to me
Don't you leave me here with these memories
Tell me you need me, you want me
You said we'd always be together
I guess you didn't mean forever

Tell your mom and dad I'm feeling really bad
I didn't say goodbye to them
My family's gonna miss you, I know we got our issues
Maybe we should try again
Maybe we shouldn't
Baby, you ain't gotta stay
But it ain't easy
Watching you walk away

Is it too late now?
Baby, won't you come back to me
Won't you tell yourself you ain't gotta leave
I need you, I want you
I'm wishing you were here
Is it too late now?
Baby, won't you come back to me
Don't you leave me here with these memories
Tell me you need me, you want me
You said we'd always be together
I guess you didn't mean forever

Oh, I don't think I can take it
Don't think I can make it
I wish I had the words to go on and fix this
But the truth is I'd only make things worse

Is it too late now?
Baby, won't you come back to me
Won't you tell yourself you ain't gotta leave
I need you, I want you
I'm wishing you were here

Is it too late now?
Baby, won't you come back to me
Won't you tell yourself you ain't gotta leave
I need you, I want you
I'm wishing you were here
Is it too late now?
Baby, won't you come back to me
Don't you leave me here with these memories
Tell me you need me, you want me
You said we'd always be together
I guess you didn't mean forever




I guess you didn't mean forever
I guess you didn't mean forever

Overall Meaning

The song is about the artist's experience of realizing that his partner's claims of being together forever were hollow and untrue. The song starts with the artist reminiscing about a September night, looking into his partner's eyes as the relationship started to fall apart. The artist handed back his partner's things and took off her ring, knowing that they were about to break up. Even though he knew that he didn't need this broken heart, his partner gave it to him anyway.


The chorus of the song talks about how the artist wishes his partner would come back to him and tell herself that she didn't have to leave. He expresses his need and desire for her and how he is left alone with memories of their relationship. He wants her to tell him that she needs him and wants to be with him, just like she had promised they would always be together. However, the artist realizes that his partner won't be coming back and now it is too late to fix things.


Overall, the "Forever" is a sad and poignant song that captures the artist's pain and regret over the end of a relationship that he thought would last forever.
