nothing lasts forever

maybe I was wishing for a fairytale or I’m just a hopeless romantic

but through it all I thought somehow we managed to become friends

so deep inside I came to believe we would never end

but the old folks always told me to never say never

because nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today

and nothing lasts forever

so I try to be honest

I was always honest with him

just maybe not to myself

spent too much time waiting for the feelings we once felt

waiting for the spark to return to a fire

that stopped burning long ago

I kept holding on to yesterday and praying for a different tomorrow

even though I know nothing’s ever promised tomorrow today

and nothing lasts forever

and it hurts to even speak these words

because I can’t help but wonder why

my prayers were never heard

wonder why my love wasn’t returned

or wasn’t strong enough for both of us

but I know he loved me

I know he loves me

but there’s a difference between loving someone

and being in love with someone

and nothing lasts forever but be honest

yeah it hurts

but it’s the only way
