Some Good Things Never Last

It’s three in the morning.
You’re nowhere in sight,
and all that I wanted was to be with you tonight.
The love in your eyes
is fading so fast.
No matter how hard we try
some good things never last,
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,
it all depends.
We’ll live for the future;
we’ve learned from the past.
No matter how hard we try,
some good things never last.
When 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’ve got them in sight.
There’s someone who really needs me
out there in the night.
We’ll live for the future;
we’ve learned from the past.
No matter how hard we try,
some good things never last.
