Lyrics
Nothing Lasts Long
If something big has made you fret
Your stomach is a' tumbling, your palms start to sweat
And, try as you might, you can not leave your stress
If that one thing has got your coat
Your heart is now a' trembling, constricted throat
You find all the signs of endless distress
Don't you worry
Time goes on
Nothing lasts long
If expectation's got you down
And now you only ever sport a growling frown
Your face will betray what you've tried to suppress
Your face betrays what you can not suppress
If most important things have strayed
Your breath can't help from shallowing and fading away
The weight of the shame, just won't get off your chest
Don't you worry
Time goes on
Nothing lasts long
Don't you worry
Time goes on
Nothing lasts long
