lyrics

Why won’t you leave me alone, You took me for everything
Though you said you wouldn’t
We can’t pretend when we know, The beauty of ending things
Long before they’re ruined

Just take a look at the walls around me,I built them over a life
I made a rule to believe you could be anyone’s but mine
It’s the same, it’s the same oh
Why can’t it all just last forever? Why can’t it all just last forever

With every beat of a heart, There is a reckoning,
If you only knew it
One touch can be an alarm, To send out a warning
If you hold too long, it bruises

Any way that the sun sets on me, I wonder where you are
I’m reaching out to be closer but you’ve never felt so far
It’s the same, it’s the same oh
Why can’t it all just last forever? Why can’t it all just last forever

With you, in one little move
I’m feeling so bad, I kinda like that
With you, I hang my heart on your last word

So much for making a mark, We missed out on everything
Why can’t it all just last forever? Why can’t it all just last forever?
Why can’t it all just last forever? Why… can’t it last… with you
I hang my heart on your last word
