“Forever … (is a long time)” is the first song from a trio, which Halsey explains as:

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'
