Laid in grass
Drifted away
Nothing lasts
Like blame and decay
Bridges burned
Stories forgotten
Pages turned
Yellow and rotten
And here's to you
Watch you sleeping
I've learned that you're leaving
Points of no return I believe in
I sing of love
But I don't touch the stuff
Cos it hurts when you dont get enough
And they say you'll never recover from losing a lover
But in the main we maintain we're okay (in the main)
And they say you'll never recover from losing another lover
But in the end you'll recover
Leaves fall from trees.

If all you wanna do is walk my way
That's okay
And you understand 'to take me hand' is not an offer
And if you think you've got it made
It's a shame
If you're looking for something to last forever
I won't play that game
If you're looking for something to last forever
Did you really believe
You'd close you eyes and find one so naive
Please
If you're looking for mistress right
You're wrong she left you
And I'm blessed with clear hindsight
To see right through your mess
And the shoulder you cry on has gone
If you're looking for something to last forever
I won't play along
I'm not something you've done
That'll last forever
Did you really believe
You'd close you eyes and find one so naive
Please
You said the love you gave away was incredible
Indelible
Unforgettable
But the heart you chose was ineligible
A credit note on refurbished love
When you're waiting for the final reel
And the happy ending
'Momenti Mori' has its appeal
So stop pretending
Cos you made a fraudulent slip
So quit
Your looking for something to last forever
You're denying it
You're looking for something to last forever
I'm not something you've done
That'll last forever
Did you really believe
When I close my eyes that you're the one I see
Please
Big boy's don't cry
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
