lyrics

You said this moment is never gone
You said we’ll stay like this 'til we’re young
(Now life is not what it used to be / now life is not what it used to be)
-
You said you’re not like the other ones
The feeling’s pure. The moment's gone
(Now life is not what it used to be / now life is not what it used to be)
-
Now what you say when you can‘t see
Lights up the dark, and means everything to me
Cause disappointment could have haunted all my dreams
But failure fades away when it turns to memories
-
You said we’re living in the good times. Watching it all pass everyone else by
(Now life is not what it used to be / now life is not what it used to be)
To live, to try to stop the time, to wait for the moment, but have the moment pass you by
(Now life is not what it used to be / now life is not what it used to be)
-
Now what you say when you can‘t see
Lights up the dark, and means everything to me
Cause disappointment could have haunted all my dreams
But failure fades away when it turns to memories
-
Now you’re trying to take it all away
From everyone
Who thinks this matters
-
Now what you say when you can‘t see
Lights up the dark, means everything to me
Cause disappointment could have haunted all my dreams
But failure fades away when it turns to memories
You gave up on your dreams
And failure faded and
The conversations
Turned to what we are, not what you became
-
Turn to what we are, not what you became
