I feel I've known you all my life And so begins for me another sad sad story You're unlike anyone I've known Such a pretty thing to see And so so good to me I tried to warn you from the start I'm maladjusted I won't know how to love you Once again I've tried to change So I may keep you for myself We had a good thing in the past Why can't good things last forever True love never lasts Why can't this love last forever They told me just to leave you be It's easier said than done, so I do forget you I want to take you like a drink Add never ever put you down 'til they make me Please don't ask me what I've learned I'm only human, that's all I know, I'd love to hear what you think The good news is I'm on the mend So every day we spend apart We had a good thing in the past Why can't good things last forever True love never lasts Why can't this love last forever We had a good thing in the past Why can't good things last forever True love never lasts
