Not Meant to Stay

We kissed beneath a dying billboard The city blinked and looked away Love was never built to stay Tossed your lighter out the window Threw my sweater in the bay Love was never built to stay The sand we stood on was just Glass that melted And our skeletons are sand beneath The waves And in the past It's so romantic But in the present I can't stand it 'Cause the past is never meant to stay It's never meant to stay He said "I need to be alone now" So I left him there and drove away Love was never built to stay Two years and seven months together Took two days to throw away Love was never built to stay The sand we stood on was just Glass that melted And our skeletons are sand beneath The waves And in the past It's so romantic But in the present I can't stand it 'Cause the past is never meant to stay It's never meant to stay I lost my necklace in the ocean I wonder if it washed away The things you keep aren't things you Hold They're things you let go The things you keep aren't things you Hold They're things you let go The sand we stood on was just Glass that melted And our skeletons are sand beneath The waves And in the past It's so romantic But in the present I can't stand it 'Cause the past is never meant to stay It's never meant to stay
