It Only Lasts For a Little While lyrics

It only lasts for a little while,

this pain I feel inside.

My tears stop fallin',

I hear you callin',

and I forget about my pride.

I'm only strong for a little while

each time I say we're through.

My tears stop fallin'

when you're not callin',

I wish that I could hear from you.

Oh yes, I know I should forget you

and try to find a love that's true.

I tell myself that I don't love you

but in my heart I know, I know that I do

It only lasts for a little while

but what am I to do?

My tears stop fallin',

I hear you callin',

I know that I'll come back to you—

I know that I'll come back to you—

I know that I'll come back to you...
