For Old Times’ Sake

Hold me tight, but just for tonight
And not as tight as before
We're not that close anymore
At least not in that way
We've drifted further apart with each day
We have waited it out just to see
If we could love one another casually
But I've been a good friend to you
I've always been there for you

You say you don't know
Where did the people we used to be go?
You say you don't understand
Whatever made me let go of your hand
But you never asked me to stay
And if you wanted me to, you did not say
Now for old times' sake
Go ahead and repeat that mistake
'Cause the moment is past now
I've stopped counting the days somehow

Let it be what it is
Though we never intended for it to turn into this
We had something good that did not last
Let's not be constantly re-living the past
I have nothing but love for you
Though you've often questioned how that could be true
Well, you better start believing me
If you ever wish to set yourself free
From this long and drawn-out process of letting go
All this grief and regret has kept your spirit low
