Said “dynasties last forever,” said it like a prayer

September felt endless, confetti in my head

But by December even legends miss a third-and-ten

They said, “Love’s bigger than a win-loss sheet”

But try telling that to a girl raised on belief

I don’t break promises, I break patterns

I don’t leave when it’s hard, I leave when it’s sad

I was ready for rings, white dress, hometown chatter

But you can’t spell forever with a six-and-eight collapse

So I’m calling it now, before overtime matters

I loved you when you flew, not when you crashed

We planned the aisle like a victory parade

But the magic faded faster than your third-string fade

I cheered through the interceptions, I stayed through the rain

But I won’t marry a season that forgot how to play

You kept saying, “Babe, it’s just one down year”

But I’ve heard that lie from every cornerback fear

I don’t break promises, I break patterns

I don’t leave when it’s loud, I leave when it’s flat

I was ready for rings, red scarf, gold banners

But I can’t build a life on a highlight that’s past

So I’m calling it now, before hope turns sarcastic

I loved you in the climb, not the stat

Maybe it’s shallow, maybe it’s cruel

But I’ve learned love shouldn’t feel like Week Twelve in a doom scroll

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need invincible

I just need someone who still looks unstoppable

I don’t break promises, I break patterns

I don’t ghost—I wave goodbye with grace

I was ready for forever, framed in platinum

But forever shouldn’t feel like a rebuilding phase

So keep the jersey, keep the town’s belief

I’ll keep my name off another defeat

You’ll find someone who loves the fall

I just don’t marry teams that stall
