Some Good Things Never Last lyrics

It's three in the morning

You're nowhere in sight

And all that I wanted was

To be with you

Tonight

I've watched love get closer

And then fade away

I've seen you believe in me

I've seen you trying to stay

But what good is holding on

When you know

That all you can think about

Is letting go

They say if you love someone

Then set them free

If they come back again

Then in the end

It was meant to be

I thought we were lovers

I thought we were friends

I guess when reality steps in

The dreaming ends

We live for the future

We learn from the past

No matter how hard we try

Some good things never last

All you can think about

Is letting go

Be true to yourself, my love

That's all I ever wanted you to be

Just don't forget to smile

When you think of me

I'll reach for the stars

I have got them in sight

There's someone who really needs me

Out there in the night

We'll live for the future

We will learn form the past

No matter how hard we try

Some good things never last

Why can't they last?
