(Verse 1)
where did we go wrong
how did we get to this place where the distance and silence is all we know
what happened to our second chance our forever
u chose to let them in
u betrayed our vows my trust
did u think I wouldn’t know or did I just not care
how do we go on knowing what I know now
I don’t want to feel this pain I don’t want my tears to continue to fall like rain
I believed in us
I miss the days when is was just u and me
we have been through so much to have just ended up here this was our last chance to get it right but now all we do is fight
was is something I did or did u just stop loving was she what really wanted was our love just temporary
is it time to say goodbye
I have no fight left to try
I have to tell u one thing that will always be true no matter. how u feel I will always love you
Gene you were always and will be my forever
(Pre-Chorus)
Porch light still hums like an old radio, midnight's writing our mistakes in rain
The road signs point to nowhere, and your name is carved in every chain
(Chorus)
Gene, you were my forever
I'll always love you, Gene
Midnight rain and neon signs
Can't wash away what you've been to me
Gene, you were my forever
I'll always love you, Gene
Hold that little porch light memory
Even if forever's gone from me
(Verse 2)
I can see your shadow by the jukebox, your laugh in a neon bar
The truck bed was our promise, now I'm counting every scar
Accordion and steel play like the ghosts of every Friday night
We danced our truth beneath the stars, then you let someone else inside
(Pre-Chorus)
The highway's got a rhythm, an empty seat beside me hums the tune
Road dust on the dashboard, every mile spells back to you
(Chorus)
Gene, you were my forever
I'll always love you, Gene
Midnight rain and neon signs
Can't wash away what you've been to me
Gene, you were my forever
I'll always love you, Gene
Hold that little porch light memory
Even if forever's gone from me
(Bridge)
Was it something I did, or did you stop loving me?
Was she what you wanted, was our love just temporary?
Is it time to say goodbye, ’cause I have no fight left to try
But hear me loud and clear — I’ll love you till the end of time
(Chorus - Finale)
Gene, you were my forever
I'll always love you, Gene
The streetlamps fade but not this truth
I'll carry you in every song I sing
Gene, you were my forever
I'll always love you, Gene
Porch light, midnight rain, and heartache too
Still don't change the way I feel for you
(Outro)
I'll keep that porch light burning, keep your laugh inside my chest
Some loves don't end with leaving — some just learn the art of rest
Gene, you were my forever — even if forever's gone
I'll always love you, Gene, and I'll keep carrying on
