Nothing is forever
And good things never last
And learning in the future
Is based on lessons from the past
Thought we were Gold in the Fire
And we could not be burned
Until you lost your desire
And I melted to learn
Thought I could keep you from changing shape
But two people cannot believe on one mans faith
And your love is was
An hourglass
What I thought I'd found
Was too good to last
And your love it was
A promise made
But our lock and key
Held a broken chain
And now when I see you
I just don't understand
All that I needed from you then
Has now become all the time on my hands
It was torture to see it coming
As we reached our end of days
The sands of time were falling
From a Pre-Mature Heart Decay
And as I stood in falsehood
In our final hour
I prayed for the roots of a Redwood
But you withered like a flower
And when you finally spoke the words that broke my heart
I couldn't blame you too much when I knew from the start
And your love is was
An hourglass
What I thought I'd found
Was too good to last
And your love it was
A promise made
But our lock and key
Held a broken chain
And now when I see you
I just don't understand
All that I needed from you then
Has now become all the time on my hands
And your love is was
An hourglass
What I thought I'd found
Was too good to last
And your love is was
An hourglass
What I thought I'd found
Was too good to last
And your love it was
A promise made
But our lock and key
Held a broken chain
It was a broken chain
It was a broken chain
It was a broken chain
