Richard Miller - Your Firm Grip of Patience Lyrics

Nothing lasts forever
Nothing stays with you for long
And you cannot see the ending
Even when it's simply gone
You don't feel the same way
And you don't know who you are
And you feel us moving backwards
Something's changing you by far
And you find out
That you've run out
And you want to keep it
But you just can't feed it
So you try now
And you know how
But you just can't feed it
So you just repeat it
And you want to be forever
And you want to be a star
But the memories are fading
Sliding deeper and ajar
If you say you love forever
And we know that you speak true
Can you tear yourself away and
Stand forever all anew
And you find out
That you've run out
And you want to keep it
But you just can't feed it
So you try now
And you know how
But you just can't feed it
So you just repeat it
And it seems as if you're failing
The forces keep prevailing
You don't know where you're going
You've gone to far
So you find yourself waiting in pain
You don't know where to go, and where you've been
(You don't know why)
You cannot love, and you cannot be happy again
(You wanna lie)
And you cannot lie, you cannot hide, you cannot cry, so never die
You wanna fly, but you cannot hide it all inside
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing stays with you for long
And you cannot see the ending
Even when it's simply gone
You don't feel the same way
And you don't know who you are
And you feel us moving backwards
Something's changing you by far
And you find out
That you've run out
And you want to keep it
But you just can't feed it
So you try now
And you know how
But you just can't feed it
So you just repeat it
And it seems as you are failing
The forces keep prevailing
You don't know where you're going
You've gone to far
So you find yourself waiting in pain
