Some things just aren't meant to last

I guess you learn as you grow

But you never told me that

And now I can't let go

[Verse 1]

If I knew that you wanted to

I'd run through hell and fire

But I know you've

Dressed yourself in barbed wire

And all those memories

Fade like ember

There's no going back

[Chorus]

You came and left like it was nothing

So I'll hold on to the pieces that you left

While you're with somebody else

And I am not allowed to love you

And no, l'm not allowеd to care

[Verse 2]

And even though you'rе missing

You're still everywhere

Remnants of affection start to fade

And pave the way for more pain

Reminiscing of a day

We walked and laughed and smiled

And I never even told you then

I thought I had time that I didn't

And I should've told you then

That I didn't wanna be just friends

[Chorus]

You came and left like it was nothing

So l'll hold on to the pieces that you left

While you're with somebody else

And I am not allowed to love you

And no l'm not allowed to care

[Verse 3]

And even though you're missing

You're still everywhere

I can't hate you

Just for wanting

Something a little bit less

No I can't hate

Someone who doesn't

Know that I don't

Want anybody else

All those memories (Remnants of affection start to fade)

Fade like ember (And pave the way for more pain)

There's no going back (Reminiscing of a day)

[Pre-Chorus]

I can't love you

Then I'll try to

Forget what we had

[Chorus]

You came and left like it was nothing

So l'll hold on to the pieces that you left

While you're with somebody else

And I am not allowed to love you

And no l'm not allowed to care

[Outro]

Some things just aren't meant to last

I guess you learn as you grow

But you never told me that

And now I can't let go

Even though the hardest part

Is knowing you don't know

I'll still wait forever just in hopes

That you come home
