Sentimental Songs Don't Last

Don't get excited
No one ever promised you
The sparkle from the box would last
And i'm sure i saw you glance up
When all the new arrivals passed

I do remember
Living off my best behavior
No revert to alibis
Wish you could've been there
To lighten up when i came by

Well here she goes
Straight ahead and don't look back
Yeah here she goes again

It's not that i don't care
Don't get the wrong impression
Settling is always hard
And lately i've had a knack for bad judgment

What if i'd come up to you in advance
Filling you in
Showing my hand
This ain't the first time
Won't be the last time i walk away

Well here she goes
Straight ahead and don't look back
Yeah here she goes
And we both know she'll never last
Cause good intentions never last
Like sentimental songs don't last

So give me something that will last
Cause i'm running out
