All good things (come to an end)  by NELLY FURTADO

Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is daily
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming
[Chorus]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Nelly Furtado
Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.
I've beening listening to this song recently.(I like swimming in this melody and the lyrics,i awalys check it before i go to bed).It's a kind of little bit sentimental song,in which we can see a snapshot of our youth that tinged golded-----we fall in and out of love again and again,and people come in and out of our life,some can be our friend,some,however,can never be seen again.This was like the line in the song:  
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
In Chinese,"all good things come to an end" we can say as"天下没有不散的宴席".
Actually,this old proverb can be translated in another way,which is "there is no grand feast that under the same sky that would never end".I reckon it a better way of depicting the feeling here and i like it personally.
When it comes to the place where the whistle as the background,I couldn't but bob to the music,swoon in it, whistle and sing along with it.
