It's three in the morning
You're nowhere in sight,
And all that I wanted was
To be with you
Tonight
I've watched love get closer
And then fade away
I've seen you believe in me
I've seen you trying to stay,
But what good is holding 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
The dreaming ends,
We live for the future
We learn from the past,
No matter how hard we try
Some good things never last.
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 have got them in sight,
There's someone who really needs me
Out there in the night.
We'll live for the future
We'll learn from the past
No matter how hard we try
Some good things never last
Why can't they last?
