i-i shoulda known better, nothing lasts forever
 
  
  hey
  
 
 it all started out in a tan dodge van
 
 200 bucks that we stole from her dad
 
 out the back of his meth lab
 
 took the 45, i'll demand that
 
 lived with bonnie 'bout to be a mommy
 
 came to california with johnny
 
 they had a run-in with the law
 
 she shoudla listened to her ma
  
 
 she said we'd be together (she said)
 
 she used the word forever (she said)
 
 oh my lovely lover (she said)
 
 why i'd love to love her

 abortion clinic
 
 i shoulda forced the issue
 
 but she did it a hanger and some tissue
 
 don't cry dry your eye, (she said)
 
 i'll be back on my feet tonight, (she said)
 
 i'll be walking the streets tonight, (she said)
 
 cuz these arms gotta eat tonight
 
 then we made love like a couple drunk buffalo
 
 was that rough enough?
 
 it was the last time i'd ever see
 
 i tried to thank her, with gonerhea
 
 but then she split, stole my sweater

 shoulda ended in the tan dodge van
 
 with 200 dollars worth of partying
 
 but instead i'm sitting on sunset 
 
 selling my soul for a hit
  
 
 yeah, what next
  
 
 yeah i-i i shoulda known better
 
 nothing lasts forever
 
 yeah lasts forever
 
 when you said you'd never leave and we'd be together
 
 nothing lasts forever, nothing ever lasts forever
