Nothing Lasts Forever

I'm gonna write you a record and put it out
All your friends will buy the vinyl
And my shows will all sell out

Do you remember when you told me
You said, "It won't work out?"
Now I don't miss you
And I've never said that before

I've been living so fast
Trying to get ahead and stay on track
I've been breaking my back
For a hundred dollars before tax

And I'll be breaking no rules
'Cause I can't afford to lose
And all my troubles will fade away
'Cause nothing lasts forever

And you fall back in love with somebody else
And when they ask you about your past
I'll be the part that you hold back
And at the high school reunion
They'll be asking where I'm at
Now I don't believe you
And I've never said that before

I've been living so fast
Trying to get ahead and stay on track
I've been breaking my back
For a hundred dollars before tax

And I'll be breaking no rules
'Cause I can't afford to lose
And all my troubles will fade away
'Cause nothing lasts forever

All I ever wanted was to be in love with you
But I guess this record will have to do

I've been living so fast
I've been breaking my back
