Love runs out faster than you think Like an hourglass, it’s gone before you blink
And without a reason why It’s all over before you get a chance to try
You get so close, just to fall apart Hold each other, knowing there will be scars Still wishin’ I could be in your arms tonight
Temporary love, before you know it, it’s done And now we’re left with nothin’, but these broken shards of us
Temporary love, when two hearts start to rust We rode these waves for nothin’, but a sea of worn-out trust Temporary love
Just when you think her heart is sure Love can take a turn and run you right off course
And though it’s over, it don’t end Long-lost memories replay over in your head
You get so close, just to fall apart Hold each other, knowing there will be scars Still wishin’ I could be in your arms tonight
Temporary love, before you know it, it’s done And now we’re left with nothin’, but these broken shards of us
Temporary love, when two hearts start to rust We rode these waves for nothin’, but a sea of worn-out trust Temporary love
Look what we’ve become Maybe we should have run the other way when we were young
Spent all this time, thinkin’ we’d survive Had so much promise, now we have none
Temporary love, before you know it, it’s done And now we’re left with nothin’, but these broken shards of us
Temporary love, when two hearts start to rust We rode these waves for nothin’, but a sea of worn-out trust Temporary love
