Good While It Lasted Video (MV)

I smoked my last cigarette
I drank my last drop
Quit doing all the things I swore I'd never stop
Changed my direction
Sang a different tune
Gave up all those childish things that make you old too soon
Things were going good there for a while
I tried to straighten out this crooked road that I was on
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long

I used to sing on Broadway
Same songs every night
Playing for a tip jar underneath the neon lights
Had a good time with the women
And the compliments came free
I dreamed of something bigger but it wasn't meant to be
I thought I had it all there for a while
Just like a desperado out there searching for a song
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long

Nothing lasts forever and time knows that it's true
Sometimes just a little while is the best that we can do

You ended up beside me
Like some long-forgotten dream
Picked me up and showed me colors I had never seen
Said we'd stay together
Together til the end
But the end means something different to a lover than a friend
We thought we had it all there for a while
Just like that perfect moment before the darkness turns to dawn
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
It was good while it lasted but it didn't last too long
