Nothing lasts forever, I know that this is true   But I never knew how true it was 'til I was losing you   Oh maybe I'm a dreamer or maybe I'm a fool   But I never thought that love could be this careless or this cruel      You wrestle with the reasons but the reasons never rhyme   Or comfort when the heart is in decline   And it doesn't really matter if it's chance or it's design   It's gonna to take some time      Now love don't play no favorites   You know there's no one that's immune   'Cause she changes her demeanor   Like the phases of the moon      Oh, there ain't no easy answers   You know there's only shades of gray   But when it's love or it's survival   I guess you gotta get away      The days stretch on forever and the nights are so unkind   And endless when the heart is in decline   And it doesn't really matter if it's chance or it's design   It's gonna to take some time, ya know it's gonna to take some time   (It's gonna take some time)
