Sometimes you gotta wonder why nothing good ever lasts    You pinch the wick smoke goes up, man it’s gone so fast    I woke up this morning to a blank page and cup of coffee    Now the cup is empty and the page is full       There’s daffodils in the kitchen on the table    We water them every single time we’re able    But they’re dying, spinning away, far too fast    Nothing good ever lasts       Why does everything die    When everyone tries so hard    Why does everything die    When everyone tries and tries and tries and tries and tries a little harder       It’s easy for me to fall asleep in bed    I close my eyes and count backwards from ten    But it happens so fast, the sun shines through the window    And I’m running out my door       I’m wearing boots and stepping through the snow    Birds fly above me, crunching is below    And I won’t make it melt, or at least not too fast    Nothing good ever lasts
