Verse 1

Nothing is forever

And good things never last

And learning in the future

Is based on lessons from the past

Thought we were Gold in the Fire

And we could not be burned

Until you lost your desire

And I melted to learn

Pre-chorus

Thought I could stop you from changing shape

But two people cannot believe on one mans faith

Chorus

And your love is was

An hourglass

What I thought I’d found

Was too good to last

And your love it was

A promise made

But our lock and key

Held a broken chain

And now when I see you

I just don’t understand

All that I needed from you then

Has now become all the time on my hands

Verse 2

It was torture to see it coming

As we reached our end of days

The sands of time were falling

From a Pre-Mature Heart Decay

And as I stood in falsehood

In our final hour

I prayed for the roots of a Redwood

But you withered like a flower

Pre-chorus

And when you finally spoke the words that broke my heart

I couldn’t blame you too much when I knew from the start

That your love, it was...
