Nothing Lasts Forever
♪ Maroon 5 Lyrics

It is so easy to see
The dysfunction between us is glaringly obvious

Dysfunction between you and me
We're not good for each other

We must free up these tired souls
We need to let go of each other

Before the sadness kills us both
Our relationship is causing us pain and we need to end it before it gets worse

I tried and tried to let you know
I've been trying to tell you that I love you, but we need to break up

I love you, but I'm letting go
As much as I love you, it's time to move on

It may not last, but I don't know
I'm not sure how this breakup will go

I just don't know
I'm uncertain of how this will all play out

If you don't know
If you don't understand

Then you can't care
Then you can't truly care about the situation

And you show up
And you're here

But you're not there
But you're not mentally present

But I'm waiting
But I'm still hopeful

And you want to
And you want to try

Still afraid that I will desert you
You're still scared that I'll leave you

Everyday
Every day

With every worthless word
With every meaningless conversation

We get more far away
We become even more distant

The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
Our emotional distance is making it hard to stay together

But nothing lasts forever; but be honest, babe
Our relationship is not eternal, but we need to be honest with each other

It hurts, but it may be the only way
Breaking up may be the only way for us to move forward

A bed that's warm with memories
Our shared memories can provide temporary comfort

Can heal us temporarily
They can provide temporary healing

The misbehaving only makes
Our bad behavior only worsens

The ditch between us so damn deep
The emotional distance between us is deepening

Built a wall around my heart
I'm guarding my heart from further pain

I'll never let it fall apart
I won't let anyone hurt me again

But, strangely, I wish secretly
But secretly, I wish

It would fall down while I'm asleep
That my walls would come down while I'm not paying attention

Though we have not hit the ground
We haven't reached the bottom yet

It doesn't mean we're not still falling, oh
But that doesn't mean we're not still falling

I want so bad to pick you up
I want to help you so badly

But you're still too reluctant to accept my help
But you're not ready to accept my help yet

What a shame; I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
It's a shame, but I hope you find someone to blame other than yourself

But until then the fact remains...
But until then, the truth is...
