Nothing good can ever seem to last   But it's goodness that delivers us our past   Nothing good can ever come of this, I'm sure   But sometimes you are granted just one wish      And every now and then   There'll come a time when you are lost in your own mind   And then you'll understand   Just why we were put here on this earth   Why nothing good can last      Nothing good can ever seem to stay   But it's great to see those great things fade away   Nothing good can ever come of this, I'm sure   But in the end we are all still innocent      And every now and then   There'll come a time when you are lost in your own mind   And then you'll understand   Just why we were put here on this earth   Why nothing good can last
