Temporary

Finding someone just to lose them soon after
Has become a common occurrence in my life
And though I try my best to break the cycle
All my efforts seem to be in vain
It's enough to make you want to give up
Any hope for a different outcome

I've spent too much time waiting for a person
Who is the polar opposite of all the others
But I still hold out hope that I'll find them
Even though all I've done is suffer

They're here one second and gone the next
It's almost like they don't even exist
Why can't these good things ever last?
Will my future always be a retread of the past?
This has all become too familiar for me
I want to break from the ordinary
I want a love that isn't temporary

Keeping a positive outlook is easier said than done
Just when all the storm clouds start to disappear
Someone goes and leaves my heart torn once again
Eliminating any chance for the skies to remain clear

I've spent too much time waiting for a person
Who will be the opposite of all the others
But I still hold out hope that I'll find them
Even though all I've done is suffer

They're here one second and gone the next
It's almost like they don't even exist
Why can't these good things ever last?
Will my future always be a retread of the past?
This has all become too familiar for me
I want to break from the ordinary
I want a love that isn't temporary

Give me a sign that better things will come
Cause all I have to cling onto is the belief
That I'll end up with a different result before long
And at this point even that is starting to fade

Oh, They're here one second and gone the next
It's almost like they don't even exist
Why can't these good things ever last?
Will my future always be a retread of the past?
This has all become too familiar for me
I want to break from the ordinary
I want a love that isn't temporary

Give me a sign that proves
Love can be more than temporary
