Temporary Forever
By Bobbi Ruffin

Verse 1:
Maybe you were right.
I’m no victim. I need to stop acting like it.
Maybe I don’t know how to love.
I tried to pour out all of me from an empty glass.
How could this ever last?
So, excuse me for trying to pick this fruit off this tree.
Though it’s kind of sweet, it could’ve been sweeter.
Now I sit here with all these broken pieces of my
Temporary forever.

Hook:
Temporary forever.
No one plans on you.
Temporary forever.
Cause no one plans to lose.

Verse 2:
Maybe you were right.
I remember every time you broke my heart and
Every promise you every made, yeah.
I counted it all against you, but I held it in
Til it festered. Now I’m messed up and stressed up, yeah.
So, excuse me for trying to live from this fruit off this tree.
Oh it won’t quite right.
Cause it wasn’t ripe, no.
Hoping things would change, but
The more they changed, they stayed the same.
I guess that’s the game in a-

Hook:
Temporary forever.
No one plans on you.
Temporary forever.
Cause no one plans to lose.


Bridge:
No need to be sad. I’m taking the good from the bad.
Remember.
The love we had, the dreams we shared, the things we planned.
Oh, we might make plans, but our path makes a detour.
Nobody said it would be easy.
You can believe me.
That it’s gonna work out. It’s gotta work out.
Cause I won’t sit still, sitting here, with my temporary forever.

Hook:
Temporary forever.
No one plans on you.
Temporary forever.
Cause no one plans to lose.
