It's three in the mornin'   You're nowhere in sight   And all that I wanted   Was to be with you tonight      The love in your eyes   Is fading so fast   No matter how hard we try   Some good things never last      But what good is holdin' on   When you know   That all you can think about   Is letting go      They say, "If you love someone   Then set them free"   If they come back again   Then in the end, it was meant to be      I thought we were lovers   I thought we were friends   I guess when reality steps in   It all depends      We live for the future   We learn from the past   No matter how hard we try   Some good things never last      When all you can think about   Is letting go   Be true to yourself my love   That's all I ever wanted you to be      Just don't forget to smile   When you think of me      I'll reach for the stars   I've got them in sight   There's someone who really needs me   Out there in the night      We live for the future   We've learn from the past   No matter how hard we try   Some good things never last
