Forever Now Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was gonna give you these flowers tonight
Was gonna ask you to stay

Practiced so that I would say it just right
But now there are no words to say
As I watch you kiss him softly
The same way you kissed me

[Chorus]
I scream what am I gonna do with forever now
Tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?
All the plans we made don't work if you're not around
So tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?
What do I do now?
What do I do now?

[Verse 2]
In slow motion I let these flowers hit the ground
And right before I turn to leave
As I watch you kiss him softly
The same way you kissed m

[Chorus]
I scream what am I gonna do with forever now
Tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?

All the plans we made don't work if you're not around
So tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?
What do I do now?
[Bridge]
Everything you said we would be
All the things you said we'd do
I had all my life around the thought of me and you

[Chorus]
And I scream what am I gonna do with forever now
What do I do? What do I do now?
Tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?
What do I do? What do I do now?
All the plans we made don't work if you're not around
So tell me, what am I gonna do with forever now?

[Outro]
What do I do now?
What do I do now?
What do I do now?
What do I do? What do I do now?
What do I do now?
What do I do? What do I do now?
What do I do now?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Released as the fourth single and ninth track from his fifth studio album, Ne-Yo’s debut performance of the song was on The X Factor Germany on November 25, 2012.

The accompanying music video, directed by Ryan Pallotta, premiered worldwide on November 30, 2012. It depicts Ne-Yo being busy with his career and seeing his former lover in the arms of another man. However, in contrast to the visual, the lyrics seemingly suggest the narrator witnessing infidelity from their significant other.
