GOOD THINGS

I don’t want an everlasting love, oh no
The good things they never last
It’s a good thing I never asked
I don’t want an everlasting love, oh no
The good things they never last
It’s a good thing I never asked
The good things they never last
It’s a good thing I never asked
 
For a love that never goes, my love it never grows
Maybe just a little bit, then it cuts down
Taking just a little hit, then I’m upside down
 
I won’t take offense
It’s good while it lasts, this moment will pass
I’m sure of it
The good things they never last
It’s a good thing I never asked
The good things they never last
It’s a good thing I never asked
 
When you held my hand
If you would understand
Even just the thought of it, oh how it hurts now
Pushing just a little bit ’til I’m out of bounds
 
I won’t take offense
It’s good while it lasts, this moment will pass
I’m sure of it
The good things they never last
It’s a good thing I never asked
The good things they never last
It’s a good thing I never asked
 
It’s a good thing I never asked
What’s your last name?
What’s your birthday?
Your favorite color?
Sisters or brothers?
 
What’s it like when you walk, when you talk, when you laugh?
When you dance, when you cry?
When you love, when you try?
When you fail, when you lie?
When you know the truth?
When you love, love, love, love?
 
These good things never last
Do they, love?
