Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was drawn

To your light

I'm a fire

You ignite

We were stained

But were pure

The world is cruel

But it's beautiful

[Verse 2]

The human condition

Tearing at your heart

You don't have to worry

I loved you from the start

'Cause you know you're incredible

Chemical, physical

Shaken to my bones

'Cause your words are so lyrical

[Chorus]

If it ended here tonight

You won't ever see me cry

'Cause nothing lasts forever

Don't you make no promises

Darling, I know what it is

'Cause nothing lasts forever

And nothing lasts forever

[Verse 3]

Light me up

And I will blaze

Like a soul

That you saved

Take the past from in front of me

Put it in the flames

Watch it burn, watch it burn

It takes away the pain

[Verse 4]

We were born in the ashes

We're innocent again

If it ever comes to hurt you

I will burn it down again

[Chorus]

If it ended here tonight

You won't ever see me cry

'Cause nothing lasts forever

Don't you make no promises

Darling, I know what it is

And nothing lasts forever

[Bridge]

Time to shut my mouth and learn to listen

Open up my eyes to what I'm missing

And it was all so easy to believe in

Now, it's all so easy just to leave in

Pieces

Pieces

Pieces

'Cause nothing lasts forever

[Chorus]

If it ended here tonight

You won't ever see me cry

'Cause nothing lasts forever

Don't you make no promises

Darling, I know what it is now

And nothing lasts forever

'Cause nothing lasts forever

[Outro]

If it ended here tonight

You won't ever see me cry

'Cause nothing lasts forever
