Lyrics
There’s nothing more
There’s nothing less
Nothing lasts forever
No, forever
There’s nothing more to say
Nothing left to say that’s in my life
There’s nothing more that I can say
Nothing left that I can do
Nothing more all that I can do
Oh nothing goes oh nothing stays
Nothing stays the same
Oh, not the same now
There’s nothing I can do
Nothing left that I can do or die
There’s nothing more that I can say
Nothing lasts that I can’t do
Nothing more oh, that I can do
And nothing lasts forever
And ever and ever again
Forever and ever and ever again
Forever again
And nothing lasts forever
And ever and ever again
Forever and ever and ever again
Forever again
There’s nothing more
There’s nothing less
Nothing lasts forever
No, forever
There’s nothing more to say
Nothing I can say that’s in my life
There’s nothing more that I can say
Nothing less that I can do
Nothing more all that I can do
And nothing lasts forever
And ever and ever again
Forever and ever and ever again
Forever again
And nothing lasts forever
And ever and ever again
Forever and ever and ever again
Forever again
And nothing lasts forever
And ever and ever again
Forever and ever and ever again
Forever again
