Good While It Lasted |
I smoked my last cigarette |
I drank my last drop |
Quit doing all the things |
That I swore I’d never stop |
I changed my direction |
Sang a different tune |
Gave up all those childish ways |
That made me old too soon |
Things were going good there for a while |
I tried to straighten out the crooked road that I was on |
It was good while it lasted |
But it didn’t last too long |
I used to play down on broadway |
The same song every night |
Singing for the tip jar |
Underneath the neon light |
Had a good time with the women |
And the compliments were free |
I dreamed of something bigger |
But it just wasn’t meant to be |
But I was happy there for a while |
Just like a desperado, out searching for a song |
It was good while it lasted |
But it didn’t last too long |
Nothing last forever |
Time knows that it’s true |
Sometimes a little while’s the best that we can do |
You ended up beside me |
Like some long-forgotten dream |
You took my hand and showed me colors |
I had never seen |
We both said forever, forever till the end |
But forever’s something different |
To a lover than a friend |
We thought we had it all there for a while |
Just like that perfect moment 'fore the darkness turned to dawn |
It was good while it lasted |
But it didn’t last too long |
The one thing I can tell from all this life that’s come undone |
It was good while it lasted |
But it didn’t last too long |
It was good while it lasted |
But it didn’t last too long |
