That Was Then, This Is Now Lyrics

When all we know comes crashing down about our feet

The things we love and hold dear losing to defeat

When all we've got is walking out the door

Turn around and find someone to adore

That was then, this is now

We can make it all work out

That was then, this is now

Beyond ten years or more of masquerade

I must have missed the ball

When all you've got are feelings of dismay

You mustn't take the fall

That was then, this is now

We can make it all work out

That was then, this is now

If I never give up, if I never back down

If I never give in, I may be on the ground

If I never fall down, I can never get up

To find a better place, not so messed up

It's Sunday morning, I've been sleeping on the floor

A Christian Scientist is knocking at the door

To talk with me, I don't know why

Get me out of here, say goodbye

Another cup of coffee as I face another day

Another day of thinking I could make it go away

That was then, this is now

We can make it all work out

That was then, this is now

Ten thousand times a day, I watch the door

To find that she ain't coming back no more

One thousand sheep can't help me fall asleep

When no one's looking, all I do is weep

That was then, this is now

We can make it all work out

That was then, this is now
