Lyrics That Resonate with my Soul

So I listened to this song every day while studying for the bar exam. Sometimes I just listened to it on repeat while looking at flashcards. I came to enjoy the way it soothed me so much that I declared it my favorite song ever. That was certainly an overstatement. You can understand how I might have been a little dramatic. And though I’m backing off declaring the song as my favorite, I heard it the other day and it still touches me. QGF told me that I should look at the lyrics (she did, and actually sent me an email highlighting certain lyrics she KNEW “resonat[ed] with my soul”) I am too lazy to find that email, but certainly found it appropriate TODAY to randomly look up the lyrics and share them. I have no idea why. I hope you enjoy the song too.

"Nothing Lasts Forever"

It is so easy to see
Dysfunction between you and me
We must free up these tired souls
Before the sadness kills us both

I tried and tried to let you know
I love you but I'm letting go
It may not last but I don't know
Just don't know

If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

A bed that's warm with memories
Can heal us temporarily
The misbehaving only makes
The ditch between us so damn deep

Built a wall around my heart
I’ll never let it fall apart
But strangely I wish secretly
It would fall down while I'm asleep

If you don't know
Then you can't care
And you show up
But you're not there
But I'm waiting
And you want to
Still afraid that I will desert you, babe

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Tough we have not hit the ground
It doesn't mean we're not still falling,
Oh I want so bad to pick you up
But you're still too reluctant to accept my help
What a shame, I hope you find somewhere to place the blame
But until then the fact remains

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes you so hard to stay
Nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Everyday
With every worthless word we get more far away
The distance between us makes it so hard to stay
But nothing lasts forever, but be honest babe
It hurts but it may be the only way

Thank you Maroon 5. BTW, if you can’t get enough of the song -- Kanye also did a remix with Adam Levine. It’s called “Heard ‘Em Say” That song is hella hot too!
