Nothing Lasts Forever

It is so easy to see dysfunction between you and me. We must free up these tired souls before the sadness kills us both.

I tried and tried to let you know: I love you but I’m letting go. It may not last but I don’t know, just don’t know.

If you don’t know then you can’t care, and you show up but you’re not there. But I’m waiting and you want to; still afraid that I will desert you.

Everyday
with every worthless word we get more far away. The distance between us makes it so hard to stay, but nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe it hurts but it may be the only way.

A bed that’s warm with memories can heal us temporarily. The misbehaving only makes the ditch between us so damn deep

Built a wall around my heart, I’ll never let it fall apart. Strangely I wish secretly it would fall down while I’m asleep.

If you don’t know then you can’t care, and you show up but you’re not there. But I’m waiting and you want to; still afraid that I will desert you.

Everyday
with every worthless word we get more far away. The distance between us makes it so hard to stay, but nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe it hurts but it may be the only way.

Though we have not hit the ground it doesn’t mean we’re not still falling. Oh I want so bad to pick you up, but you’re still too reluctant to accept my help. What a shame, I hope you find somewhere to place the blame but until then the fact remains.

Everyday
with every worthless word we get more far away. The distance between us makes it so hard to stay, but nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe it hurts but it may be the only way.
