Nothing Lasts Forever
K-Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can talk about it, baby.

Time, nothing really lasts forever,
Seems like we're waiting too long to make a difference in our lives,
That's why nothing never changes and I need change,
A bigger house and a bigger rent,
Ready to move on to bigger things,
But I don't know if you are ready for.

I have never met a girl that made me wanna let go,
You got me so open on my feelings exposed,
But every time I let you get a little too close,
Something makes me so unsure.

If you love each other, if we need each other,
If we should really be together,
Well, nothing really lasts forever.

And when I close my eyes you are a perfect woman,
Everything that I dreamed of in my life, I want it all or nothing.
Although you kept me satisfied all these years,
It's always something that stops me from buying you a wedding ring.

I have never met a girl that made me wanna let go,
You got me so open on my feelings exposed,
But every time I let you get a little too close,
Something makes me so unsure.

If you love each other, if we need each other,




If we should really be together,
Well, nothing really lasts forever.
