Love suicide
You and I drove for miles
Knew I’d be here, be here, be here with you
Knew I’d be here, be here, be here with you
We took a dive in the blue, scared to lose
All my feelings, feelings, feelings for you
Knew I’d be here, be here, be here with you
Yeah, now we gotta let this go
Drove the car off the road
I gotta give you time to grow
You’re not a ghost, you’re in my head
I didn’t wanna leave you low
Drove the car off the road
I hope you get some time to grow
You’re not a ghost, you’re in my head (In my head…)
I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever
Even when we’re not together
I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever
Said I’ll love you forever
I know in the future (Future)
We won’t see each other (We won’t see each other)
Cold just like December
But I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever
Yeah, I’ll love you forever
Head, in my head
You take your time, I’ll take mine, we’ll be fine
Knew I’d be here, be here, be here with you
When the roof caved in and the water fell through
Hope when we’re old, we’ll be friends, reminisce
Hope we’ll be there, be there, be there, us two
All the memories, all the photos we took
Yeah, now we gotta let this go
Drove the car off the road
I gotta give you time to grow
You’re not a ghost, you’re in my head
I didn’t wanna leave you low
Drove the car off the road
I hope you get some time to grow
You’re not a ghost, you’re in my head
I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever
Even when we’re not together
I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever
Said I’ll love you forever
I know in the future (Future)
We won’t see each other (We won’t see each other)
Cold just like December
But I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever
Yeah, I’ll love you forever
I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever (Ever)
Even when we’re not together
I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever
Said I’ll love you forever (I know-I know)
I know in the future (Love you)
We won’t see each other
Cold just like December
But I will always love you (Love you)
I’ll love you forever
Yeah, I’ll love you forever
I know-I know (Love you)
Oh, I love, oh-oh-oh-oh
I know, love you
I’ll love you forever
I know-I know (Love you)
Oh, I love, oh-oh-oh-oh
I know, love you
(I know-I know)
Future, we won’t see each other
I know-I know (Love you)
Love you
I know-I know (Love you)
Love you
I know-I know (Love you)
Love you
Front of my mind, in the front of my mind
You stay right in front, in the front of my mind
Front of my mind, in the front of my mind
You stay right in front, in the front of my mind
Front of my mind, never leave you behind
We say promises and we gave up the lies
Front of my mind, in the front of my mind
You stay right in front of my mind
Exploring Love and Letting Go
Charli XCX’s “forever” captures the bittersweet essence of loving someone even when circumstances demand separation. The lyrics take us through memories of deep connection—driving for miles, shared moments, and promises—while confronting the painful realization that growth sometimes means letting go. The recurring motif of driving off the road symbolizes a relationship reaching an inevitable turning point, where both need space to evolve. Yet, despite the distance and the chill of moving on (“Cold just like December”), the song’s refrain insists that genuine love endures beyond physical presence or shared futures.
A Tribute to Lasting Affection
“forever” is a heartfelt tribute to relationships that remain significant, even as they change form. Charli XCX expresses hope for future friendship and cherishes the indelible mark left by a true connection. The song’s emotional honesty resonates with anyone who’s had to say goodbye while still holding love at the front of their mind.
