## Lyrics

Well I swear there's a ghost on this Island

His hands, all covered in blood

My wife inquired of understanding

But of course my dear, you can't

She said 'How can I relate to somebody who doesn't

Speak? I feel like I'm just treading water.

Is it the same for you?

Is it the same for you?

Well he comes and he goes, so capricious.

And his work appears so rushed.

Well I love the house that we live in.

I love you all too much

Is it the same for you?

Is it the same for you?

Is it the same for you?

Is it the same for you?

Well criminals and liars, keep him in your cell as a privilege of mine.

Well I love the house that we live in, I love you all too much

The blood is on your tongue as well as your hands.

The blood is on your tongue as well as your hands.

The blood is on your tongue as well as your hands.

Archaic and content you just wash them off

The blood is on your tongue as well as your hands.

Archaic and content you just wash them off

The blood is on your tongue as well as your hands.

Archaic and content you just wash them off

The blood is on your tongue as well as your hands.

Archaic and content you just wash them off

## Lyrics

Don't try to make me stay

Or ask if I'm okay

I don't have the answer

Don't make me stay the night

Or ask if I'm alright

I don't have the answer.

Heartache doesn't last forever

I'll say I'm fine

Midnight ain't no time for laughing

When you say goodbye.

It makes your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes irresistible.

I've tried to ask myself

Should I see someone else?

I wish I knew the answer.

But I know, if I go now, if I leave

Then I'm on my own tonight

I'll never know the answer.

Midnight doesn't last forever

Dark turns to light

Heartache flips my world around

I'm falling down, down, down,

That's why.

I find your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes irresistible (Irresistible)

Irresistible (Irresistible)

Irresistible (Irresistible)

Irresistible (Irresistible).

It's in your lips and in your kiss

It's in your touch and your fingertips

And it's in all the things and other things

That make you who you are and your eyes irresistible.

It makes your lips so kissable

And your kiss unmissable

Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes,

Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

Irresistible.

He started dating Halsey in late October 2019. Starting on March 24, 2020 rumors that the two split up appeared. In response to controversial posts made by Peters during the 2020 *Black Lives Matter* movement Halsey confirmed the break up.

### Relationship with Halsey

In 2012 and 2013 Halsey first expressed her admiration for Peters on her Twitter account saying: "Seriously Evan Peters stop making me attracted to alleged sociopaths and accused" and also started a "petition for [her] to date Evan Peters."

The latter wish was fulfilled in late 2019. She and Peters were first seen holding hands in September 2019 at Six Flags. The two officially confirmed their relationship on October 26, 2019. The two made their first official appearance on October 28, 2019 at the celebration of the 100th *American Horror Story* episode. Halsey took to *Instagram* to express her love for Peters on his birthday saying "[she] can't imagine a world without [him] in it". Peters also traveled with Halsey for her Manic World Tour and the two celebrated Valentine's Day 2020 in Switzerland.

On March 24, 2020 Halsey deleted the birthday post for Peters on *Instagram* and also deleted other pictures of the couple which led fans and news outlets to believe that the two split up.

Later in June 2020 Peters made a post about the rioters of the *Black Lives Matter* movement saying that "[he] could watch these piece of shitt looters get tackled all day!!". Halsey confirmed the break-up when she liked a tweet that referenced Peters' post with the caption "is this why Halsey broke up with you?".

[Intro: Machine Gun Kelly]

Let me take my fucking bracelet off

[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

You tell me you hate me, baby

Yeah, I bet you do

[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]

Damn

I saw you walk in the room and I tried my best

Not to panic while I'm lookin' for the back door

I smelled the perfume and it's obvious

I'm gonna stay and put my key in the bag more

I can't, I can't, I can't pretend to forget

You're the reason I punched a hole in the wall back home

And then, and then, and then a couple hours later

We're in room 29 at The Chateau

[Pre-Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]

I left before you woke up

I don't feel right (Seeing you sober)

[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly]

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

You tell me you hate me, baby

Yeah, I bet you do

I'm keepin' you waiting

But I won't wait on you

Want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

[Verse 2: Halsey]

I've wasted so much time

Waitin' around for your phone calls every night

My bad dreams are silk screened

'Cause I taste blood when you bleed

It's eating me alive

We'd both be better off alone

Still think I'd get you on the phone

With one last breath in me

I'd die before I let you leave

[Pre-Chorus: Halsey, *Halsey & Machine Gun Kelly*]

You left before I woke up

*Why don't I ever see you sober?*

[Chorus: Halsey]

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

You tell me you hate me, baby

Yeah, I bet you do

I'm keepin' you waiting

But I won't wait on you

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

[Bridge: Machine Gun Kelly, *Halsey* & **Both**]

Hey you

Tell me why you do the things that make me

*Hate you*

*It's an emotional kaleidoscope when I*

Face you

Permanent calligraphy, I just

**Tattooed**

**Your name on me forever, fuck**

[Chorus: Machine Gun Kelly & Halsey, Halsey]

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

You tell me you hate me, baby

Yeah, I bet you do

I'm keepin' you waiting (*Waiting*)

But I won't wait on you

You want me to forget you

Okay, forget me too

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm perfection when it comes to first impressions

Well, I romanticize and then I get to stressin'

A big brain like I'm teachin' it a lesson

Baby, it's a blessin', yeah

You got me thinkin' that I was too mean

Well, everything that I say, I believe

Tuck a knife with my heart up my sleeve

And change like a season, please him for nothin'

I am disruptive, I've been corrupted

And by now, I don't need a fuckin' introduction

I been gone 'cause I been on this road too long

[Chorus]

You know I get too caught up in the moment

I can't call it love if I show it

I just fuck things up if you noticed

Have you noticed? Tell me, have you noticed?

I get too caught up in the moment

I can't fall in love if I show it

I just fuck things up if you noticed

Have you noticed? Tell me, have you noticed?

[Verse 2]

Now, I'm wonderin' if I ever wanted to hold you

It never mattered if I owned you

'Cause you'd let anybody with a body control you

And you know it too

You got me feelin' like I been too mean

And everything that I say I believe

Tuck a knife with my heart up my sleeve

And fuck like a demon, do it like nothin'

I am disgustin', I've been corrupted

And by now, I don't need no help to be destructive

I been, gone, yeah, I been on this road too long

[Chorus]

You know I get too caught up in the moment

I can't call it love if I show it

I just fuck things up if you noticed

Have you noticed? Tell me, have you noticed?

I get too caught up in the moment

I can't fall in love if I show it

I just fuck things up if you noticed

Have you noticed? Tell me, have you noticed?

[Outro]

The more that you give away

The more that you have

The more that you give away

The more that you have

The more that you give away

The more that you have

The more that they take

[Verse 1]

Well, I won't die for love

But I've got a body here to bury

And if truth be told, it's scary

'Cause my shoulders are heavy already

And, yeah, I know

The parts of myself that I've hated

And I can't tell which ones are mine and which I created

But I won't die for love

But ever since I met you

You could have my heart

And I would break it for you

And I won't die for love

But ever since I met you

You could have my heart

And I would break it for you

Took one in thе temple, my tongue is a vеssel

I try to be careful with the thing inside my chest

You shoot for the memory so you can forget me

I'll leave if you let me, ooh

[Chorus]

But I won't die for love

But ever since I met you

You could have my heart

And I would break it for you

Please don't leave (I'm runnin' out of time to tell you)

Don't leave me in the shape you left me (I'm runnin' out of things that I regret)

Please don't leave (I'm runnin' out of time to tell you)

Don't leave me in the shape you left me (I'm runnin' out of things that I regret)

Please don't leave me (Forever)

Don't leave me in the shape you left me (You told me)

Please don't leave (Forever)

Just leave me in the place you found me safe and soundly

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, the loneliest girl in town

Is bought for pennies of prize

We dress her up in lovely gowns

She's easy on the eyes

Her soul is black and it's a fact

That a snear will eat you alive

And the buyer always brings her back

Because all she does is cry

[Chorus]

So take what you want, take what you can

Take what you please, don't give a damn

Ask for forgiveness, never permission

Take what you want, take what you can

Take what you please, don't givе a damn

It's in the blood and this is tradition

Ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

Oh, the loneliеst girl in town

Was bought for plenty a prize

Well, they dress her up in golden crowns

His smile hides a lie

She smiles back, but it's a fact

That her fear will eat her alive

Well, she got the life that she wanted

But now all she does is cry

[Chorus]

Take what you want, take what you can

Take what you please, don't give a damn

Ask for forgiveness, never permission

Take what you want, take what you can

Take what you please, don't give a damn

It's in the blood and this is tradition

[Bridge]

You can't take it back, it's good as gone

Well, flesh amnesiac, this is your soul

And I hope what's left will last all summer long

And they said that boys were boys, but they were wrong

[Chorus]

Take what you want, take what you can

Take what you please, don't give a damn

Ask for forgiveness, never permission

Take what you want, take what you can

Take what you please, don't give a damn

It's in the blood and this is tradition

Take what you want, take what you can

Take what you please, don't give a damn

Ask for forgiveness, never permission

Take what you want, take what you can

Take what you please, don't give a damn

It's in the blood and this is tradition

[Outro]

(It's good as gone)

Halsey also talked about why she wanted to collaborate with Morisette:

"*I wrote her a letter and she was nine months pregnant, maybe a little less, and I tried to tell her what an irrevocable impact she’d had on my life. I told her I would never have been brave enough to say the things I’ve said if she hadn’t said them first, and that I was making a record about all the important parts of me and I couldn’t imagine making it without her. And she said yes. [...] In case you missed any of the subtext on my last albums, I’m bi. And I wanted this song to be very queer. Who better to do it with than Alanis, who’s one of the women who helped me feel comfortable with my sexuality as a young person?*"

## Lyrics

It was all a dream

I used to read Word Up magazine

Salt 'n' Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine

Hangin pictures on my wall

Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl

I let my tape rock til my tape popped

Smokin weed and Bambu, sippin on Private Stock

Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack

With the hat to match

Remember Rappin Duke? duh-ha, duh-ha

You never thought that hip hop would take it this far

Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight

Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner

Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri

Funkmaster Flex, Lovebug Starski

I'm blowin up like you thought I would

Call the crib, same number same hood

It's all good (uh)

And if you don't know, now you know

We know very well who we are, so we hold it down when summer starts

What kind of dough have you been spending?

What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?

It was all a dream

I used to read Word Up magazine

Salt 'n' Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine

Hangin pictures on my wall

Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl

I let my tape rock til my tape popped

Smokin weed and Bambu, sippin on Private Stock

Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack

With the hat to match

Remember Rappin Duke? duh-ha, duh-ha

You never thought that hip hop would take it this far

Now I'm in the limelight cause I rhyme tight

Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade

Born sinner, the opposite of a winner

Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner

Peace to Ron G, Brucey B, Kid Capri

I'm blowin up like you thought I would

Call the crib, same number same hood

It's all good (uh)

And if you don't know, now you know

We know very well who we are, so we hold it down when summer starts

What kind of dough have you been spending?

What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?

Uh, uh, uh, uh

## Lyrics

[Chorus: Halsey]

Breathe, cold, another bad dream

Got mud on my face, but I can't get clean

Feel, hope, but I rip at the seams

If I can't get you away from me

Taking showers every hour and I choke on steam

Writing on the mirrors and the space between

Oh, so tall, it broke the fourth wall

Guess our fairy tale had a few plot holes

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain: Halsey]

Breathe, cold, another bad dream

(Another bad dream, another bad dream)

Breathe, cold, another bad dream

(Another bad dream, another bad dream)

Breathe, cold, another bad dream

Another bad dream, another bad dream

Another bad dream, another bad dream

Another bad dream, another bad dream

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Halsey]

Breathe, cold, another bad dream

Got mud on my face, but I can't get clean

Feel, hope, but I rip at the seams

If I can't get you away from me

Taking showers every hour and I choke on steam

Writing on the mirrors and the space between

Oh, so tall, it broke the fourth wall

Guess our fairy tale had a few plot—

[Instrumental Break]

### Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Way down a dark alleyway

And somewhere in the Garden State

A girl from California waits

She has my name but not my face

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I, tried to let her be someone

Hoping when the morning comes

She's not another hit and run that everybody knows

[Chorus]

The people disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

[Verse 2]

So let's say for goodness sake

That she cleans it up and finds her way

But a child can't affect her fate

And you pray, and you pray, and you pray

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And now, maybe if you see someone

Hoping when the evening comes

You're not another hit and run that everybody knows

[Chorus]

The people disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

[Bridge]

I hurt myself to make sure I exist

I pinch myself to make sure that I'm real

I hurt myself to make sure I exist

I need someone to tell me how I feel

[Chorus]

'Cause people disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

People disappear here, ah

[Outro]

(People disappear here

People disappear here

People disappear here

People disappear here

People disappear here)

Forever...(Is a Long Time)

## *Manic* Chronology

"**Forever...(Is a Long Time)**" (stylized in sentence case) is a song performed by Halsey. It is featured as the fifth track on her third album, *Manic*. It was released on January 17, 2020 through Capitol Records.

## Background

The song was announced on December 3, 2019 through social media. In an interview with Zane Lowe Halsey explained that the song belonged to a trio with "Dominic's Interlude" and "I Hate Everybody":

"*Every album of mine has what we call a trio: three songs smack in the middle that serve as a transition and are meant to be listened to in succession. On Manic, it’s 'Forever ... (is a long time),' 'Dominic's Interlude,' and 'I HATE EVERYBODY.’*"
—Halsey explaining the trio

In the same interview she also speaks about the duality and meaning of the song and how exactly it's paired with the other songs from the trio:

"*On this song, I'm falling in love. The instrumental is major, all these beautiful twinkling tones, and birds are singing, everything’s sweet, it's Cinderella. And then I start getting in my own head. The piano comes in and it's this stream-of-consciousness train of thought that modulates from major to minor to show my mood shifting from optimistic to anxious. And now I'm sabotaging this relationship and feeling paranoid, this is going to be bad. And then [singer-songwriter] Dominic [Fike, on "Dominic's Interlude"] tells me I’d better go tell my man he’s got bad news coming.*"
—Halsey about the song's meaning

On Twitter she revealed why she titled this song "Forever...(Is a Long Time)":

"'*Forever...(is a long time)' is called that because it showcases the journey of falling in love and then sabotaging it with your own paranoia and insecurity. That’s why the music modulates from Major to Minor. [It was written on] the piano in my living room.*"
—Halsey on Twitter

## Lyrics

[Intro]

I spent a long time watering a plant made out of plastic

And I cursed the ground for growing green

I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic

And I cursed my tongue for being mean

[Verse]

And weightless, breathless restitute

Motionless and absolute

You cut me open, sucked the poison from an aging wound

Now fifty thousand war cadets

Would cower at this small brunette

To my surprise, not six feet high

Who'd reach and grab the moon if I

Should ask or just imply

That I wanted a bit more light

So I could look inside his eyes

And get the colors just right

Just right, just right, just

[Interlude]

[Outro]

Build love, build God, build provinces

Build calluses, break promises

'Cause I could never hold a perfect thing and not demolish it

What am I thinking? What does this mean?

How could somebody ever love me?

Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news comin'
