Nothing good can ever seem to last
But it's goodness that delivers us our past
Nothing good can ever come of this I'm sure
but sometimes you are granted just one wish
And every now and then
There'll come a time when you are lost in your own mind
And then you'll understand
Just why we were put here on this earth
And why nothing good can last
Nothing great can ever seem to stay
But it's great to see those great things fade away
Nothing good can ever come of this I'm sure
But in the end we are all still innocent
And every now and then
There'll come a time when you are lost in your own mind
And then you'll understand
Just why we were put here on this earth
And why nothing good can last
But it's goodness that delivers us our past
Nothing good can ever come of this I'm sure
but sometimes you are granted just one wish
And every now and then
There'll come a time when you are lost in your own mind
And then you'll understand
Just why we were put here on this earth
And why nothing good can last
Nothing great can ever seem to stay
But it's great to see those great things fade away
Nothing good can ever come of this I'm sure
But in the end we are all still innocent
And every now and then
There'll come a time when you are lost in your own mind
And then you'll understand
Just why we were put here on this earth
And why nothing good can last
