LOVE AIN’T MADE TO LAST

A stray city girl was the fire in my darkest world

But when love got too plain, she held another flame

Wild hair and eyes, I believed her bedroom lies

She'll face tomorrow's day without me

 

Dust to dust, affairs of heart just fade into the past

The truth that finds our tattered lives says

Love Ain't Made To Last

And sometimes it's hard to believe these words

Till you wake up all alone

 

An angel in white, any normal man's delight

But feelings that stayed real, she couldn’t make me feel

As love came apart, all the kindness in her heart

Could never make mine care about her

 

Dust to dust, affairs of heart just fade into the past

The truth behind the shattered lie says

 Love Ain't Made To Last

Cause sometimes we spend all our lives

In search of perfection

And sometimes we don't even see

What’s in the reflection

And sometimes we fail to appreciate the affection

'Til it’s gone, 'Til it’s gone
