Marty Cain Nothing Good Ever Lasts
Sometimes you gotta wonder why nothing good ever lasts
You pinch the wick smoke goes up, man it’s gone so fast
I woke up this morning to a blank page and cup of coffee
Now the cup is empty and the page is full
There’s daffodils in the kitchen on the table
We water them every single time we’re able
But they’re dying, spinning away, far too fast
Nothing good ever lasts
Why does everything die
When everyone tries so hard
Why does everything die
When everyone tries and tries and tries and tries and tries a little harder
It’s easy for me to fall asleep in bed
I close my eyes and count backwards from ten
But it happens so fast, the sun shines through the window
And I’m running out my door
I’m wearing boots and stepping through the snow
Birds fly above me, crunching is below
And I won’t make it melt, or at least not too fast
Nothing good ever lasts
