[Verse 1: Slyleaf]
I know it's easy
To get lost in yesterday
To bring back all these things
I know you loved them, I know you loved them
[Pre-Chorus 1: Slyleaf]
But I know that I can try again
To warm your heart, please understand
Things don't stay forever
We say we want to make a change
I must admit, it feels a little strange
To see it in a different way
[Chorus 1: Slyleaf]
And even if it passes by
This isn't how we say goodbye
Just until next time
There's nothing wrong with shedding tears
To make sure that your sight is clear
And bring to light our silly fears
[Post-Chorus: Sample]
It's terrific, I'm so proud of you
[Verse 2: Slyleaf]
And just when you've forgot
Maybe take the time to stop
And cherish what we have
Instead of missing what we had
You only know it as soon it's gone
Because to satisfy what you long for
[Pre-Chorus 2: Slyleaf]
You will have to try again
To fill your heart, please understand
Things don't stay forever
You know you've got to make a change
You must admit, it feels a little strange
To see it in a different way
[Chorus 2: Slyleaf]
And even when it passes by
That wasn't how you said goodbye
Just until next time
You'll still get through the falling tears
And now you know your sight is clear
Bring to light all your silly fears
[Outro: Slyleaf]
I know you loved them, I know you loved them
