Nothing Lasts Forever Lyrics - Cole World: The Sideline Story - J. Cole

[Hook:] 

I tried, you tried, we tried 

All of the times that we had together 

We should've known nothing lasts forever 

[Repeat] 

[Verse 1:] 

When this shit end, man it's gon' get ugly 

Real real ugly, your grandmama love me 

And your mama love me, little sister hugs me 

Even got a few homegirls that wanna fuck me 

Soon as this shit end, forget about it 

You been stayin' in my crib, you gotta get about it 

Cause if you layin' in my bed, let's admit about it 

One time fuckin' and we no longer upset about it 

Cause when this shit ends it's either all or nothin' 

I thought you loved me, how the hell you gon' call yo cousin? 

You know the diesel ass, half slow, evil ass 

Nigga in that Honda showin' up with that drama 

On my mama, we been through it all 

From the goods to the bads, rise to the fall 

You done seen me at my best, seen me at my worst 

So when this shit ends, know it's gon' hurt

[Hook:] 

(You can't say we didn't try, you can't say we didn't try) 

I tried, you tried, we tried 

All of the times that we had together 

We should've known nothing lasts forever 

[Repeat] 

[Verse 2:] 

They say we won't last 

I know you suspicious, but you don't ask 

And I don't tell, that's where we both fell 

A good nigga gone bad 

Good chick a lil mad as fuck, she done had enough 

I be, out here tryna raise my status up 

But success bring bitches, and they bad as fuck 

Ass fat as fuck, with a little ol' waist 

I ain't want the whole meal, just a little ol' taste 

Should have looked both ways 'fore I crossed you 

I guess I never thought I could have ever have lost you 

Now I'm out stuntin' with this bitch, you ain't about nothin' 

While some nigga learnin' all the shit I taught you 

Damn, guess you deserve that, a new start 

But deep down you know we grew apart 

Long before I broke your heart, if I lost your respect 

I'm just hopin' you don't look at me as somethin' you regret 

Photos 

[Hook:] 

(You can't say we didn't try, you can't say we didn't try) 

I tried, you tried, we tried 

All of the times that we had together 

We should've known nothing lasts forever 

[Repeat] 

[Verse 3:] 

I got your message I been meanin' to respond, know it's been awhile 

Apologies, I ain't been around 

I wanna kick it, but I know that shit is different now 

And times have changed 

Let me know if I'm out of bounds, are the lines the same? 

I mean ya, lookin' good, yeah you still got it 

Been reminiscin' and I'm not sure how I feel about it 

Now we can say that all good things come to an end 

But we know each other way too well to pretend 

We went from friends to somethin' much more 

To breakin' up to makin' up and fuckin' once more 

Second chances, we gave enough to finally 

We gave it up, but some days I be wakin' up and wantin' one more 

But what for? Maybe it's just the weather 

We break each others hearts, so maybe it's for the better 

Holler whenever, cause you always got a friend in me 

And nothin' lasts forever, least we got these memories 

[Hook:] 

(You can't say we didn't try, you can't say we didn't try) 

I tried, you tried, we tried 

All of the times that we had together 

We should've known nothing lasts forever
