Nothing Can Last Lyrics - Singles - Stephen Duffy & The Lilac Time

I dare not say your name 

I know you feel the same 

And I fear I might say out loud 

That I love you 'cause I do 

If you are the answer 

Then love is like cancer 

It's killing me faster than time 

I want to tell someone I hurt 

Maybe I should tell you first 

But I think you might be afraid 

That I'm dying of you 

If you are the partner 

And loving gets harder 

Pretend I'm a stranger as well 

Don't drink tonight 

If you don't want us to fight 

The moments of abuse 

Should not be an excuse 

From moving on, having fun 

And being the only one 

I know that you love me 

And although I love you 

We both know that nothing can last
