evermore is such an insane album when you really think about it. like. love isn't forever. friendship isn't forever. trust isn't forever. family isn't forever. even a marriage isn't forever. but then she ends on evermore (song) and it's like: you know what else isn't forever? pain. suffering. heartache. she just flips the script of the entire album on the LAST SONG and cements the complexity of its core message in 5 minutes. and i'm supposed to be normal about that

also (since i'm seeing a lot of people say they didn't fully get that this was evermore's core message until now) this is what "forever is the sweetest con" means

when 5sos said "i know you wish me well, and that's what makes me wanna die" and "i miss the days before i second-guessed my life, wasn't always asking why" and "i'm feeling like a dreamer, don't you try to wake me now" and "does it have to be this tragedy, this endless lost parade?" and
