Nothing lasts forever
I know that this is true
But I never knew how true it was
'Til I was losing you.
Maybe I'm a dreamer
Or maybe I'm a fool
But I never thought
That love could be
So careless or so cruel.
You wrestle with the reasons
But the reasons never rhyme
Or comfort when the
Heart is in decline
And it doesn't really matter
If it's chance or it's design
It's going to take some time.

Love don't play no favorites
You know there's no one that's immune
Cause she changes her demeanor
Like the phases of the moon.
There ain't no easy answers
You know there's only shades of grey
But when it's love or it's survival
I guess you gotta get away.
The days stretch on forever
And the nights are so unkind
And endless when the
Heart is in decline.

And it doesn't really matter
If it's chance or it's design
It's going to take some time.
It's going to take some time.
