Made To Last Lyrics

When I woke up this morning

There was something in the air

Silently imploring me

A wayward wishing prayer

Was the life I'd been ignoring

Tucked away in disrepair

Til I found out I was mourning

A part of me I lost somewhere

I was looking for an answer

Couldn't find it anywhere

Only when my heart was broken

Could I choose when not to care

When you're standing out in the open

And the wind is blowing passed

The illusion that you're going somewhere

Even though you're standing fast

When I woke up it was pouring

From a dream so very rare

In which the rain was roaring

You were waiting for me there

And I took your hand knowing

There is more I am meant to be

Than a tree for in the forest

A fish from in the sea

I see what I've been given

In a late night love affair

More than that which I was living

Forgotten in despair

I hope that I wake in the future

But I know that I'll dream of the past

It's a shame that this can't be forever

But beauty's just not made to last

It's not made to last
