Live To Repeat

I'm hurt but I've learned 
And that I've heard 
Is the greatest gift for one to ever yearn 

Affections turn from infatuation to disinterest 
To better again to worse 
Before finally realizing one's individual worth 

And a fool I'd be to try and swim upstream 
In search for memories long washed away 
Down into the river and to the sea 

There are just some things in life 
We cannot live to repeat
