I knew that summer wouldn’t stay
I’m not that kind of fool
Just thought we may get one more day
But the storm was cold and cruel
I had you for a moment there
Now it’s forever in the past
And pretty things
They were never meant to last
Just like a Sunday afternoon
I take some pills and sleep
While you cook your shit up in a spoon
And sell our childhoods cheap
‘Cause when you pull that thread
It all unravels crazy fast
And pretty things
They were never meant to last
Late at night when the world is still
I wonder where you went
And in these moments I have to kill
There’s a lifetime to repent
‘Cause I had you for a moment there
Now it’s forever in the past
And pretty things
They were never meant to last
