Nothing Lasts Forever ©2018 Robert George BMI

Well, the liquor bottles on my table
Look like the skyline of New York
I can almost see the chauffeur
Waiting for her at Kennedy Airport

I feel lost in this empty room
Without her my life is just a vacuum
I thought nothin’ could break up our home
Now nothing’s all I own

And nothing lasts forever
It goes on and on
And I feel surrounded
By ev’rything that’s gone
Once I thought the winds of change
Would be something I could weather
But fate wasn’t bluffing,
Love is all or nothing
And nothing lasts forever

If time can’t teach me to forget
I’ve got nothing left to learn
I’m too low for Hank or Merle
It’s like my world has nowhere left to turn

All we’d built has been destroyed
Leaving just a thirsty void
Nothing I did pleased her fancy friends
Sometimes love comes to an end

But nothing lasts forever
It goes on and on
And I feel surrounded
By ev’rything that’s gone
Once I thought the winds of change
Would be something I could weather
But fate wasn’t bluffing,
Love is all or nothing
And nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever

Some say passin’ time by drinkin’
Is no better than a life of crime
Maybe I’m selfish
But I can’t help it
Cos whiskey is the unfaithful wife of time

And nothing lasts forever
It goes on and on
And I feel surrounded
By ev’rything that’s gone
Once I thought the winds of change
Would be something I could weather
But fate wasn’t bluffing,
Love is all or nothing
And nothing lasts forever

Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever…
