Forever
Se7en Lyrics

Se7en's song Forever is a heart-wrenching ballad about memories of a long-lost love. The first verse of the song talks about how time passes by and how the singer can't find the person they're looking for in a crowd. They're trying to hold onto their emotions, even though their heart feels broken. The singer mentions a public park where they made a promise with their loved one, and they can never forget that moment. This all happens in a "fake time."

In the second verse, the singer talks about how time passes slowly in a gentle season. They mention how they try to connect with the person they love through clumsy words, holding onto old wounds. They can't feel them again and can only remember that person's love. The singer mentions that they could tell this person how they feel if they had the chance, without any facade, and express the deep love they held for each other, but it seems to be too late. The singer ends the song, wishing they could've said "sorry" before the love withered away.
