» Poem: This Can't Last Long
This Can't Last Long

Somewhere in my darkest days,
I shake my head and nod;
I know, this can't last, forever.

And even with the clouds in the sky,
I shake my head and wonder why;
even with these tears in my eyes,
I know, this can't, last long,
and I know, I was wrong,
so, blame me.

I know I need to, let go, of my past
and this encouragement, just won't last
but I'm standing here, in front of you,
pleading to let my heart, decide what's true.
I know, I was wrong, before,
and to be right, is all I wish for -
I want to escape everything I have
but still, I'm here, to let you know
that I know, this can't last, too long.

And even with the clouds in the sky,
I shake my head and wonder why;
even with these tears in my eyes,
I know, this can't, last long,
and I know, I was wrong,
so, blame me.

I wanna tell you not to worry
and take your fears away;
I wanna tell you not to hurry,
things are gonna to be okay.
And I wanna tell you that I'm sorry
for the things I sometimes say.
I just wanna tell you not to worry
so I'm here to let you know
that I know, this can't last, too long.

And even with the clouds in the sky,
I shake my head and wonder why;
even with these tears in my eyes,
I know, this can't, last long,
and I know, I was wrong,
so, blame me.

Somewhere in my darkest days,
I shake my head and nod;
I know, this can't last, forever.

So don't worry,
don't worry,
don't worry,
don't worry;
I'm gonna be just fine.
Don't worry,
don't worry,
don't worry,
don't worry;
I'm gonna be just fine.

And even with the clouds in the sky,
I shake my head and wonder why;
even with these tears in my eyes,
I know, this can't, last long,
and I know, I was wrong,
so, blame me.

I just wanna tell you not to worry
because we both know, I'll be fine,
and I'm here to let you know
that I know, this can't last, too long.

I know, this can't last, forever,
and I know, this can't last, too long;
I know, I was wrong,
so blame me.
