I feel I've known you all my life
And so begins for me another sad sad story
You're unlike anyone I've known
Such a pretty thing to see
And so so good to me

I tried to warn you from the start
I'm maladjusted
I won't know how to love you know

Once again I've tried to change
So I may keep you for myself

We had a good thing in the past
Why can't good things last forever
True love never lasts
Why can't this love last forever

They told me just to leave you be
It's easier said than done, so I do forget you
I want to take you like a drink
Add never ever put you down 'til they make me

Please don't ask me what I've learned
I'm only human, that's all I know, I'd love to hear what you think
The good news is I'm on the mend
So every day we spend apart

We had a good thing in the past
Why can't good things last forever
True love never lasts
Why can't this love last forever
