Nothing Lasts Forever Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say that you care about me
Calm down, it's been under two weeks
Stop tryna fix whatever you think you see
When you see nothing at all
You fell off your chair when I said
That I wanted to kiss all your friends
But life’s short, and ultimately everything ends
So I don't care anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
You think that we're falling into love
But I’m not (I'm not), so get up (Get up)

[Chorus]
Don't be so dramatic
Come on, get it together
When you gonna figure out
That nothing ever lasts forever, forever, forever
Hopelessly romantic
But you're not very clevеr
When you gonna figure out
That nothing evеr lasts forever, forever, forever

[Verse 2]
Blind drunk and back to your place
Sober up from the look on your face
As you try and work out my emotional state
When there is nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
You think that we're falling into love (Love)
I'm not (I'm not), so get off (Get off)

[Chorus]
Don't be so dramatic
Come on, get it together
When you gonna figure out
That nothing ever lasts forever, forever, forever
Hopelessly romantic
But you’re not very clever
When you gonna figure out
That nothing ever lasts forever, forever, forever

[Post-Chorus]
Nothing ever lasts, nothing lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts, nothing lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts, nothing lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts, nothing lasts forever

[Bridge]
(Nothing ever lasts, nothing lasts forever) Self love, joy, security
(Nothing ever lasts, nothing lasts forever) Childhood dreams and purity
(Nothing ever lasts, nothing lasts forever) Sex, pay cheques, relationships
(Nothing ever lasts, nothing lasts forever) Everything will go to shit
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t be so dramatic
Come on, get it together
When you gonna figure out
That nothing ever lasts forever, forever, forever

[Chorus]
Don't be so dramatic
Come on, get it together
When you gonna figure out
That nothing ever lasts forever, forever, forever
Hopelessly romantic
But you’re not very clever
When you gonna figure out
That nothing ever lasts forever, forever, forever

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

“Nothing Lasts Forever” is one of my favourite tracks on the mixtape because it’s a perfect representation of who I am as a person – straight to the point, honest and entirely chaotic […] It’s the classic Dylan contradiction of emotions between the lyrics and the track. I wanted to write a happy song about how badly I handle my feelings, and the way that people can walk in and out of your life as they please. How does anyone love and be loved?! It’s cringy, but the songs are so un-cringy that it’s very easy to take in without icking myself out. But I feel like I’m writing a soundtrack to my life. This is my movie soundtrack.
