[Verse]
|
He's waiting down at the corner under the streetlight
|
He's only following orders 'til midnight
|
And then he'll sneak back home to his wife,
|
and his everyday life.
|
He says he's been at the pub with the boys all the night,
|
she acts as if she don't know, says, "it's alright."
|
But he knows she don't believe him.
|
|
On and on, on and on.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Cause nothing lasts forever,
|
and nothing lasts forever.
|
Everything dies eventually,
|
cover your eyes if you don't want to see. x2
|
And nothing last forever, and nothing lasts forever.
|
|
[Verse]
|
This isn't how she thought that her life should be.
|
When they first met back in '63,
|
and a future together was all she could see, all she could see.
|
He said if you stick with me,
|
then you know we'll be alright.
|
A family for the rest of our lives,
|
and I'll always be by your side.
|
And that's when she cried.
|
|
On and on, on and on.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Cause nothing lasts forever,
|
and nothing lasts forever.
|
Everything dies eventually,
|
cover your eyes if you don't want to see. x2
|
And nothing lasts forever, and nothing lasts forever.
|
|
[Bridge]
|
So he takes off his tie and he tells another lie,
|
she only believed it for a minute.
|
And she doesn't ask why,
|
she doesn't want to pry.
|
She only believed it for a minute.
|
He's walking out the door and into a new life,
|
he's already got plans with his new wife,
|
and a house in a new neighborhood.
|
He says he's been at the pub with the boys all the night,
|
she acts as if she don't know,
|
says its alright.
|
But he knows she don't believe him,
|
but she's sick of arguing.
|
|
On and on, on and on.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And nothing lasts forever,
|
and nothing lasts forever.
|
Everything dies eventually
|
cover your eyes if you don't want to see. x2
|
And nothing lasts forever, and nothing lasts forever.
|
|
[Outro]
|
She's been waking around,
|
with her heart dragging on the ground.
|
She don't need to frown. x2
