Lyrics

[Verse]
He's waiting down at the corner under the streetlight
He's only following orders 'til midnight
And then he'll sneak back home to his wife
And his everyday life
He says he's been at the pub with the boys all the night
She acts as if she don't know, says, "it's alright."
But he knows she don't believe him

On and on, on and on

Chorus
Cause nothing lasts forever
And nothing lasts forever
Everything dies eventually
Cover your eyes if you don't want to see. x2
And nothing last forever, and nothing lasts forever

[Verse]
This isn't how she thought that her life should be
When they first met back in '63
And a future together was all she could see, all she could see
He said if you stick with me
Then you know we'll be alright
A family for the rest of our lives
And I'll always be by your side
And that's when she cried

On and on, on and on

Chorus
Cause nothing lasts forever
And nothing lasts forever
Everything dies eventually
Cover your eyes if you don't want to see. x2
And nothing lasts forever, and nothing lasts forever

Bridge
So he takes off his tie and he tells another lie
She only believed it for a minute
And she doesn't ask why
She doesn't want to pry
She only believed it for a minute
He's walking out the door and into a new life
He's already got plans with his new wife
And a house in a new neighborhood
He says he's been at the pub with the boys all the night
She acts as if she don't know
Says its alright
But he knows she don't believe him
But she's sick of arguing

On and on, on and on

Chorus
And nothing lasts forever
And nothing lasts forever
Everything dies eventually
Cover your eyes if you don't want to see. x2
And nothing lasts forever, and nothing lasts forever

[Outro]
She's been waking around
With her heart dragging on the ground
She don't need to frown. x2
