It's three in the morning you're nowhere in sight,
And all that I wanted was to be with you tonight.
I've watched love get closer and then fade away,
I've seen you believe in me, I've seen you're trying to stay.
But what good is holding on when you know,
That all you can think about is letting go.
They say if you love someone then set them free,
If they'll come back again then in the end,
It was meant to be.
I thought we were lovers,
I thought we were friends.
I guess when reality steps in the dreaming ends.
We live for the future,
We learn from the past.
No matter how hard we try some good things never last.
All you can think about is letting go.
Be true to yourself my love,
That's all i ever wanted you to be.
Just don't forget to smile,
When you think of me.
I've reached for the star,
I have got them in sight.
There's someone who really needs me,
Out there in the night.
We live for the future,
We will learn from the past.
No matter how hard we try,
Some good things never last.
