delikately - forever is for tourists lyrics

i don’t live here
i just leave lipstick on the keycard
checked in at room 303
hung my heartbreak by the minibar
i’ve seen people gamble with devotion like it’s a party trick
and i’m not naive
just tired of pretending i don’t notice

i book escape routes. i burn the maps
still, i look back god, what’s up with that?

i don’t send postcards
from the messes i’ve made
just a tightness in my chest
where the truth won’t stay
love doesn’t land
just drifts west
yeah, i know
i pack light
but i still bring hopе
even when i swear i’vе outgrown that trick

forever’s for tourists
and i never packed for that

you said forever
like a sales pitch cute
i watched it curl like a french cigarette slow burn
i carry heartbreak like exhibit tags
tiny facts under a mess of feeling
you dressed it up like it meant something
i say “i know better” like that’s ever helped
love’s just another thing i perform too well

forever’s for tourists
and i was never staying long

sweet nothings in press+release tone
you said i was “too much” for a house half+built
truth is, i could’ve made you feel known
like, really known
you say i vanish like a ghost or a twist
but i just leave when the script gets lazy
at most
i asked for depth, not a scenic detour
you kept rerunning lines like this was a tour
you loved the outline
neat, composed
but skipped the margins where i bled prose
i don’t send postcards
i send disclaimers in verse
love used to mean something
now it just hurts
it was a language
i turned it into a curse
i don’t wait at gates
letting go’s just muscle memory now
but i still dream in too much and maybe
hope’s a ghost in a hotel robe
still knocking
still pacing
still aching to go

’cause forever is for tourists
and i never booked the roundtrip home
never did. never will
