This Won't Last Forever

Album: Fighting Words (2021)
  • Go easy when you wake me
    If you try to shake me
    I think it's gonna make me
    Rattle like a tambourine
    Time I tried to keep
    Passed by in my sleep
    And I don't want to wake up from this dream
    This won't last forever
    It can't go on and on
    This won't last forever
    You'll look for me and I'll be gone
    I remember death or glory
    It was mostly purgatory
    And a funny story
    I'm lucky that I lived to tell
    I'm not gonna lie
    I just want to try
    To tell the story straight and tell it well
    This won't last forever
    It can't go on and on
    This won't last forever
    You'll look for me and I'll be gone
    I know I know I know I know I know
    Get up get up get up get up and go
    While we're here pretending
    There's a happy ending
    Thank you for lending
    A sympathetic ear to me
    And I do believe
    You don't have to grieve
    But if you do then save a tear for me
    This won't last forever
    It can't go on and on
    This won't last forever
    You'll look for me and I'll be gone Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
