Transience - Joseph Tyler

I could tell you a short tale

Of when my love was for sale

But I gave it all, displayed it all

But you never saw me that way

I have loved you for so long

But now all that is long gone

Even though I know I have to go

There’s so much I’ve wanted to say

Transient, transient love

Transient, transient love

Transient, transient love

Transient, transient love

I don’t expect a thing

(I never have, never will, no no no no)

I don’t expect my words to ring

(They never have, never will, ring ring ring ring)

I do hope you know that I’ve been here before

And you’ll learn whats best when you confess

Although our time was so brief

There’s still so much that I keep

But a taste of love’s a waste of love

When you know you deserve the whole thing

Transient, transient love

Transient, transient love

Transient, transient love

Transient, transient love
