lyrics
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

The world appears to be littered with bearded young men with acoustic guitars and notebooks full of verse, access to old pianos, and mournful string players.
