[Verse 1]
Didn't work out like we thought that it might
You were perfect, but you were never mine
It's so different seein' things from this side
And I hope that you're alright

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause lately you've been on the back of my mind
Didn't mean to let you down, and Lord knows I tried
To be clear and precise, but words cut like a knife
Hope you didn't get hurt from what I said that night

[Chorus]
I'm sorry that you and me couldn't be
Forever, be forever
But it's better to tell you how I feel now
Than nevеr, now than never
Promised to usе honesty and I did
Though I didn't know you'd end up hurtin' like this
I'm sorry that you and me couldn't be
Forever, be forever

[Verse 2]
Was it timing? Were you just not my type?
Were we fighting? Were we nervous to try?
It's so different seein' things from this side
And I hope that you're alright
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause lately you've been on the back of my mind
Didn't mean to let you down, and Lord knows I tried
To be clear and precise, but words cut like a knife
Hope you didn't get hurt from what I said that night

[Chorus]
I'm sorry that you and me couldn't be
Forever, be forever
But it's better to tell you how I feel now
Than never, now than never
Promised to use honesty and I did
Though I didn't know you'd end up hurtin' like this
I'm sorry that you and me couldn't be
Forever, be forever

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh
