My dad always tells me he likes the line in this song "nothing lasts forever unless it's not yours."

lyrics

Pay no mind if I make a face, I'm just trying to figure out what went wrong. Where did I stray? When did you make the promises that set you back.

Blindfold me and go drop me off in an empty field with a matchbook and a picture of you that says "do the math," well do what you will.

When you wake up in chains,
When you wake up in flames,
Or beneath the waves,
It can ruin your day.

But I can't calm the waters,
Hell I can't even swim,
And I seem to be farther
Than the tide carries in.

Line one says "here's the reason:"
Line two is blurred.

You're a puzzle that I can't piece together. I've tried and I've tried, but there's still empty space. The letters line up, but the words aren't in place, so please fill me in and do one more thing.

Don't let me be that which you choose to ignore. Nothing lasts forever unless it's not yours, so give me a hand 'cause I've got nothing left.
