She said I don't want to lose you But I'm close to giving up There's always a trade off And there's never enough
Of you to go around When I need you the most Nothing lasts forever But can last a long long time
I'll be the wind of summer in retreat You'll be the leaves burning at my feet She said I don't want to lose you But were you ever mine?
Your heart is a stone that I push up a hill that's unkind With no forward momentum it falls back on itself Nothing lasts forever But some things are worth the price
I'll be the song you'll never get quite right You'll be the dogs howling in the night
If you love me please don't stop me Please don't want me if you love me
She said I would fall to pieces if it was you instead of me Putting an end to this tomfoolery This coldness gives me strength sometimes you take What you can Nothing lasts forever it just takes a while to pass
I'll be the boat in the waters up ahead You'll be the anchor at the bottom of the riverbed
