You always value the fleeting,
the things that come and go,
Like birthdays and moments of happiness,
that only last while they are shown.

You say the world's as you want it
But you know this isn't true,
Because our lives are not forever
And your ideas may die with you.

for as long as you are staying,
But once your heartbeats start slowing to a stop,

You always value the fleeting
but not the things that last.

if the things you loved didn't pass?

Everything comes back to nothing
and you can't ever change that.
You can yell into eternity
and never get an answer back.

But always finish what you've started
