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
I've watched love get closer and then fade away
I've seen you believe in me, I've seen you're 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'll 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've reached for the star
I have got them insight
There's someone who really needs me
Out there in the night
We live for the future
We learn from the past
No matter how hard we try
Some good things never last."
