Now and Then

The past time so familiar
But that's why you couldn't stay
Too many ghosts, too many haunted dreams
Besides you were built to find your own way

But after all these years
I thought we'd still hold on
But when I reach for you and search your eyes
I see you've already gone

That's okay, I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
But when you leave
Just remember what we've had
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I will think of you now and then

You can't do a thing with ashes
But throw them to the wind
Though this heart may be in pieces now
You know I'll build it up again

And I'll come back stronger
Than I ever did before
Just don't turn around
When you walk out that door

And that's okay, I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
But when you leave
Just remember what we've had
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I will think of you now and then

There must have been some kind of sign
'Cause every now and then I'll find
You controlled my heart but I control my mind
And I may fall down to my knees
But every now and then I see
Even though the past was ours
Now belongs to me

And that's okay, I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
But when you leave
Just remember what we've had
'Cause there's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I will think of you now and then

And that's okay, I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
And even though our story's at the end
I will still think of you now and then
