Nothing Gold Can Stay

"Nothing gold can stay"
that must be why
you had to go away

nothing is allowed to be perfect
you and her will get so close
but as soon as your happy
she'll hurt you the most

i always lived by the three L's
live, love, laugh
but that doesnt always go over so well
obviously going for you was the wrong path

just seeing you walk out that door
knowing that you were done with me
together we would be no more
well darling now your free

how could i possibly have
treated you that bad
you always looked happy
not once did you look sad

you were the world to me in the form of a girl
from the days filled with so much fun
where we would just dance,
cuddle and i would tell you your my only one

if i could say one last thing before you left
i would say your one of a kind and your not like the rest
you were my first love and i loved you the best
