My love, the almost forever
We said I do in a backyard in June
Your mother cried, I wore your favorite perfume
One year and six months, that's all we got
A lifetime of dreams in a tiny little box
We picked out names for a baby we lost
You held me close when I couldn't breathe
Then came the sickness, the doctors, the tests
The look on your face when they said three months left
So I'm sorry for the nights you slept in that chair
Sorry for the weight that you had to bear
Sorry for the life we never got to live
Sorry for the love I couldn't give
My love, the almost forever
We barely got started, we barely had time
To figure out life, to figure out us
To laugh through the pain, to learn how to trust
We fought about money, we fought about time
Two broken kids chasing a impossible dream
You wanted a house, I wanted the world
But you were the only warmth I ever known
And I'm watching you now from somewhere you can't see
I know you still wear that ring
I know you still talk to me
It wasn't your fault, it was never your fault
So I'm sorry for the nights you slept in that chair
Sorry for the weight that you had to bear
Sorry for the life we never got to live
Sorry for the love I couldn't give
My love, the almost forever
We barely got started, we barely had time
To figure out life, to figure out us
To laugh through the pain, to learn how to trustmore
