That Was Then, This Is Now

So just in case my heart's not beating

It's 'cause I've forgotten how to feel

Remember that a promise is a promise

Is a waste of time

So give me one good reason

Why this time's so different

What are you hiding from me?

Tell me what it is that changed.

What I want you to be

I choose not to believe

Until I see it with my

Own two open eyes

You are the reason

I keep forgetting to let go

Of all the things that you chose

Not to remember

Don't tell me this was then

So just in case my lips are moving

And telling you what you want to hear

Remember that a promise is a promise

Is a waste of time

I've run out of excuses

And is there a point to this?

I can't keep explaining away

All these things I've done

But what I want you to be

Is a part of my future

I'm telling you this is the best I'll ever get

You are the reason

That I refuse to let this go

You are the only thing I

Want to remember

So what you're telling me

Is all the things you've whispered in my dreams

Can all come true

But tell me why don't I believe it?

Because I've known you for too long

To know that sorry isn't good enough for me

To let you get away with this one

And I thought this was it

I thought this was it.
