A Thousand Things That Won't Last
a thousand regrets from a thousand past lives
the night is as empty as she is inside
a thousand crushed hopes from a thousand lost dreams
she tries her best to smile but she's weaker than she seems
so every night
before the lights go out
she listens to
the beating of his heart
and she falls asleep
with tears in her eyes
holding on
to her dreams for dear life
but she knows it won't last forever
a thousand old scars from a thousand dark days
the sadness shows through his half-hearted gaze
a thousand more lies from a thousand old friends
he keeps on believing it will come to an end
so every night
before the lights go out
he listens to
the beating of her heart
and he falls asleep
with tears in his eyes
holding on
to his dreams for dear life
but he knows it won't last forever
