Jazmine Sullivan is back. And, as a fan, I couldn't be happier. Her latest single is "Forever Doesn't Last." It is my current new favorite song. It's a song that touches me deeply and personally. The concept of "forever" has a very short shelf life in the world today. People say "Forever" when they really mean "right now" or "for the foreseeable future." Anyway, the lyrics of this song are so true. I really love it and the fact that it's Jazmine is singing them. Get into them.
"I had high hopes for us, baby.
Like I was on dope for us, baby.
Chasing after a high that I'd never get back again.
So we turn into 3 long years.
And it became painfully clear that we would
never see those days again.
But, I guess forever doesn't last too long,
forever doesn't last too long,
forever doesn't last too long these days. Hey.
And, I tried to believe that we would make it.
But, trying don't work so I just have to face that
forever doesn't last too long these days.
Still think about the good times we had
and how you used to make me laugh.
But baby, I know most times we were miserable.
So every time I wanna call
baby what always help is when I think of the pain
and I realize I'm better off by myself.
Cause forever doesn't last too long,
forever doesn't last too long, forever doesn't last too long these days.
And, I tried to believe that we could make it.
But, trying don't work and I just have to face that
forever doesn't last too long these days.
Lord knows I gave it my all and
I couldn't save us from falling.
Cause some people ain't meant to be
together forever, forever..."
Her voice! Yes!
