What I Learned from People

Everything must end eventually

Living with people has taught this to me

I was brand new and naive

Looking for what to believe in

When I first saw them kiss

I chose to believe in this

Picture his eyes as he listens and laughs

Picture her joy when she holds his hand

As they planned and they dreamed

How magical living seemed

Every whisper and each caress

Nonetheless, everything must end eventually

I didn't see it at first

Nothing had changed on the surface

But when he said her name

I knew something was not the same

Picture the light fading out of his eyes

Picture her hand falling out of his

Though it isn't so strange

It hurts watching people change

He was still standing next to her

But they were alone

Everything must end eventually

Now I'm asking you to trust me

Whatever you think you had, it is over now

I know how much a heart can break

Don't make that mistake

Everything must end eventually

Living with people has taught this to me
