Best Things Don't Stay, Nothing Ever Lasts Forever

You said you'd always call
Waiting...
Now nothing at all

I'm only forced to look with a frown
Coming back down from this cloud

I'd been swept up by words of hope
I'm here, and this is where you were
The gift to me wasn't sure
So I drift to a place left to cope

Best things don't always stay
Nothing lasts forever
Sometimes it's good to learn the hard way
Maybe I'll understand when I'm older

You said it'll work no matter what
Waiting...
Nothing I got

I'm forced to accept the past has won
And what was created can not be done

I couldn't ever call you mine
Because you never really called me yours
Although we stood so close behind that door
At times I felt you were on the other side

Best things don't always stay
Nothing lasts forever
Sometimes it's good to learn the hard way
Maybe I'll understand when I'm older

It wasn't the distance that caused the separation
But the consequences for it to be a public situation
I wasn't thinking and I already had it bad
Holding on to something I didn't really have

Best things don't stay
Nothing ever lasts forever
