Nothing Perfect Stays That Way

The mountains we in sunlight basked
The seas we swam the day
Oh the summer’s nearly over now
Nothing perfect stays that way

I used to look at you and cry
More love than I could bear
Oh forever seemed infallible
But things so sure aren’t always there

We fell so deep in love back then
The way it’s meant to be
Until time it slowly dragged us in
Separate pieces you and me

Until now the two of us are here
With little left to say
Oh we must not dwell on changing tides
Nothing perfect stays that way

We should leave before the frost
Before we freeze to death
Oh and we must take the poems and roads
Every life breathes final breath

You leave me scattered memories
Buried in my past
Oh and every year I lose one more
Til the fondest ones are all I have
No nothing perfect’s made to last
No nothing perfect’s made to last
