I wish that I
could sleep all night
Not wake up tired
long before daylight
I tell myself I'm lucky
'cause it could be worse
And that might help me at first
still I cannot escape the hurt
I believe someday
all this will go away
'cause nothing lasts forever
I close my eyes
and wait for better times
'cause nothing lasts forever
It is hard not
to just focus on
the discomfort when I
used to be strong
I've tried ignoring all the signs
and just pretend
that this body's doing well
and that we're still the best of friends
I believe someday
all this will go away
'cause nothing lasts forever
I close my eyes
and wait for better times
'cause nothing lasts forever
Weighed down by misery
my strongest remedy
is that nothing lasts forever
In sickness or in health
in poverty or wealth
nothing lasts forever
