I wish that I Could sleep all night Not wake up tired Long before daylight I tell myself I'm lucky 'Cause it could be worse And that might help me at first Still I cannot escape the hurt I believe someday All this will go away 'Cause nothing lasts forever I close my eyes And wait for better times 'Cause nothing lasts forever It is hard not To just focus on The discomfort when I Used to be strong I've tried ignoring all the signs And just pretend That this body's doing well And that we're still the best of friends I believe someday All this will go away 'Cause nothing lasts forever I close my eyes And wait for better times 'Cause nothing lasts forever Weighed down by misery My strongest remedy Is that nothing lasts forever In sickness or in health In poverty or wealth Nothing lasts forever
