Nothing Lasts Forever

Can’t you see the tears, falling from my eyes?
Don’t you see the truth, dispelling all the lies?
I hate to see you go so soon like the cool weather
I have to say goodbye, for nothing lasts forever

I miss you
I want you
I need you
But, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve

Oh, don’t move away from me
It feels like you’re going to go
And I need you next to me, baby
I want you to know…to know…
I’m sorry, baby, for letting you down
But, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve
I wanted you to know that you’re not alone in this world of woe
And I slip into the atmosphere without a sound
For, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve
Don’t you know, little person of faith, have faith in brighter days
You’re not on your own

This time, I want you badly
In this life, in this life
I want you to know, yeah, I want you to know 
I’ll sift out all the strife
I have to say goodbye, for nothing lasts forever

I miss you
I want you
I need you
But, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve

Oh, don’t move away from me
It feels like you’re going to go
And I need you next to me, baby
I want you to know…to know…
I’m sorry, baby, for letting you down
But, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve
I wanted you to know that you’re not alone in this world of woe
And I slip into the atmosphere without a sound
For, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve
Don’t you know, little person of faith, have faith in brighter days
You’re not on your own

And I’m destined to die in your arms, in your arms
And I want you to know I miss your lucky charms
So, baby, why don’t you love me the way you used to?
Why, why does it seem like I’m sick with dem love flu?
I have to say goodbye, for nothing lasts forever

I miss you
I want you
I need you
But, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve

Oh, don’t move away from me
It feels like you’re going to go
And I need you next to me, baby
I want you to know…to know…
I’m sorry, baby, for letting you down
But, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve
I wanted you to know that you’re not alone in this world of woe
And I slip into the atmosphere without a sound
For, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve
Don’t you know, little person of faith, have faith in brighter days
You’re not on your own

I miss you
I want you
I need you
But, it’s time to leave
And I’m left to grieve
I have to say goodbye, for nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever

Please come back to me
Please understand me possibly
I need you to be next to me
Right now or for eternity 
I wish it wasn’t time to leave…
But, all you have to do is believe
Even though nothing lasts forever
