DESCRIPTION:
Album: Carnal Knowledge (1996) - Track 9


Well I don't know if I should tell you
About this hole in my heart
Somebody made up my future
By leaving me at the start

He didn't leave a forward address
Not one token of our past
Now I spend all my time believin'
That nothing's built to last

Built to last, built to last,
seems I can't find a love that was built to last

Once I found a lover
But it happened much too fast
He said don't you worry baby
Love weren't meant to last

Now maybe I'll just wander
Around from town to town
And search a thousand faces
Till love turns around

Built to last, built to last,
seems I can't find a love that was built to last.

And if what you're left with
Is never what you came for
And hope fades slowly from your eyes

Well maybe it's in your nature
That's nothin' good comes easy
That's a thing I learned along the line

So I won't quit tryin'
To solve this mystery
Is it in some ceremony
Or in a golden ring

I see you have “forever”
Tattooed on your arm
What others find so easy babe
For me it's been so hard

Built to last, built to last,
seems I can't find a love that was built to last

Built to last, built to last,
seems I can't find a love that was built to last
Seems I can't find a love that was built to last.
