The Goo Goo Dolls - Nothing Lasts Forever Lyrics

The Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics

"Nothing Lasts Forever"

I was drawn
To your light
I'm a fire
You ignite
We were stained
But were pure
The world is cruel
But it's beautiful

The human condition
Tearing at your heart
You don't have to worry
I loved you from the start
'Cause you know you're incredible
Chemical, physical
Shaken to my bones
'Cause your words are so lyrical

If it ended here tonight
You won't ever see me cry
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Don't you make no promises
Darling, I know what it is
'Cause nothing lasts forever
And nothing lasts forever

Light me up
And I will blaze
Like a soul
That you saved
Take the past from in front of me
Put it in the flames
Watch it burn, watch it burn
It takes away the pain

We were born in the ashes
We're innocent again
If it ever comes to hurt you
I will burn it down again

If it ended here tonight
You won't ever see me cry
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Don't you make no promises
Darling, I know what it is
And nothing lasts forever

Time to shut my mouth and learn to listen
Open up my eyes to what I'm missing
And it was all so easy to believe in
Now, it's all so easy just to leave in
Pieces
Pieces
Pieces
'Cause nothing lasts forever

If it ended here tonight
You won't ever see me cry
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Don't you make no promises
Darling, I know what it is now
And nothing lasts forever
'Cause nothing lasts forever

If it ended here tonight
You won't ever see me cry
'Cause nothing lasts forever
