I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the times I asked you to stay, But you'd leave, Just as the many before you, And the many to follow, And I have been told countless times that nothing lasts forever. I guess that was my first mistake, Because you weren't nothing to me, You held so much of me in the palms of your trembling hands. How I wished for you to be my nothing, And maybe, Just maybe, You would've lasted forever. And then the words that have been burned into my mind, Could have a new meaning. "Nothing lasts forever" But I still took my chances, I begged and begged you to stay, I begged this monster to stay, Because maybe, Just maybe, I'd see you start to care
