Lyrics
Somebody said, "Nothin' can last forever."
And I guess that was true when it came to you and me
There's only one thing, now that it's finally over
That I want back, cause I gave it to you for free
You shouldn't hold on to somethin' that you don't need any more
When somebody else has given you one brand new
It's one of a kind and I can't replace it , that's for sure
It's no material thing I gladly gave to you
Chorus:
You have everything that once was yours and mine
All I'm askin' for is nothin' more than what I left behind
Now it's your turn to do what's right by me
I've done my part, please give back my heart
You can have the house and both of the cars, I don't care
You can throw all my old poetry away
I've got one request, you'll have to agree it's only fair
It means nothin' to you and you're not usin' it anyway.
Chorus:
