Years and years ago, back when I thought I knew it all
Gravity reminded me how far I had to fall
But once I figured out what the world was all about
The walls I built to keep it in were crumbling down

Nothing lasts forever, why does it have to hurt so bad
Holding onto something we never really had
If questions go unanswered, it just keeps me moving on

I never wanna miss your birthday parties
I just really wanna see you smiling
Never wanna have to say I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

And never wanna just leave you guessing
All I really want is things to stay the same
I never wanna have to say I'm sorry
I'm sorry again

Time keeps moving on, so many friends have come and gone
History reminded me to know when I was wrong
And all the lessons that I've learned
But given up and still get burned
I chased away what followed me
You can't steal what I have done

If nothing lasts forever, why does it have to hurt so bad
When you're holding onto something we never really had
If questions go unanswered, it just keeps me moving on

I never wanna miss your birthday parties
I just really wanna see you smiling
Never wanna have to say I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

And never wanna just leave you guessing
All I really want is things to stay the same
I never wanna have to say I'm sorry
I'm sorry again

I've tried a million times
Still looking for a time that makes it all seem real
It's all too real

I never wanna miss your birthday parties
I just really wanna see you smiling
Never wanna have to say I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

And never wanna just leave you guessing
All I really want is things to stay the same
I never wanna have to say I'm sorry
I'm sorry again

I never wanna miss your birthday parties
Just really wanna see you smiling
Never wanna have to say I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Never wanna just leave you guessing
All I really want is things to stay the same
I never wanna have to say I'm sorry
I'm sorry again
