Dan Fogelberg - Hearts in Decline lyrics

Nothing lasts forever

I know that this is true

But I never knew how true it was

'til I was losing you.

Maybe I'm a dreamer

Or maybe I'm a fool

But I never thought

That love could be

So careless or so cruel.

You wrestle with the reasons

But the reasons never rhyme

Or comfort when the

Heart is in decline

And it doesn't really matter

If it's chance or it's design

It's going to take some time.

Love don't play no favorites

You know there's no one that's immune

Cause she changes her demeanor

Like the phases of the moon.

There ain't no easy answers

You know there's only shades of grey

But when it's love or it's survival

I guess you gotta get away.

The days stretch on forever

And the nights are so unkind

And endless when the

Heart is in decline.

And it doesn't really matter

If it's chance or it's design

It's going to take some time.

It's going to take some time.
