I hear him, before I go to sleep And focus on the day that's been I realise he's there When I turn the light off and turn over Nobody knows about my man They think he's lost on some horizon And suddenly I find myself Listening to a man I've never known before Telling me about the sea All his love is 'til eternity Ooh, he's here again The man with the child in his eyes Ooh, he's here again The man with the child in his eyes He's very understanding And he's so aware of all my situations When I stay up late He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate Oh, I'm so worried about my love They say, "No, no, it won't last forever!" And here I am again, my girl Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here Maybe he doesn't love me I just took a trip on my love for him Ooh, he's here again The man with the child in his eyes Ooh, he's here again The man with the child in his eyes

I'm sitting on the couch, feeling alone I don't feel right, cause no one's home I start to think about the things in the past The feelings were right, the fun always lasts Your kiss it was so sweet, it meant everything It felt like commitment, without a ring Now I feel like we don't have no fun This isn't for me, I don't like what we've become Now we just fight and I can't look at you The silent treatment is all that we do I tried to let you know that you were wrong But all it did was keep you gone I wanna cry, I wanna feel emotions now I'm kicking and screaming and having a cow Now I can't even talk to you, I guess this is it I guess that we are through, are through But girl I woulda known about it I woulda known about it If it wasn't true But girl I woulda known about it I woulda known about it If it wasn't true (True, true, true, true) (True, true, true, true) (True, true, true, true) The sun is out and there's no more clouds I feel I can approach you now I can be with you without feeling down Yeah, we can speak without a single shout We took some time to heal all our wounds Now what was made by me and you? Now we can let go of the little things This isn't love, I guess that it was But girl I woulda known about it I woulda known about it If it wasn't true But girl I woulda known about it I woulda known about it If it wasn't true But girl I woulda known about it I woulda known about it If it wasn't true But girl I woulda known about it I woulda known about it If it wasn't true

Focused on the things we're missing Ignoring everything we've got A thousand doors that stand wide open Won't make up for just one that's shut Seeking nearness from the distance But scared whenever it comes close Frozen hearts exposed too briefly To the sun to melt the floes All my secrets, dreams and wishes Freely laid into your hands My faith and my self-esteem Rise and fall at your command All my nerves and all my senses In constant state of red alert A mind in pointless, restless motion A body hopelessly inert Hiding behind walls of silence When there would have been so much to say Whoever said Silence is golden For sure he'd never come our way Nostalgia is a dangerous poison If mixed with bitterness and grief Makes the past look so much brighter Forms illusions of relief Makes what's lost still seem an option Though it failed the test of time Pretends the years have done no damage That we're still in our prime Wasn't it good, good just the way it was Wasn't it good, before we first tasted loss When it felt real, and not too good to be true When we were young and free, and unafraid And when time was on our side Wasn't it good, as long as we still had hope And firmly believed, that we had the strength to cope With whatever would come and stand in our way When we thought the life ahead of us Would unfold to our demands In life we get a thousand chances But less they get with every year We hoped that time would be on our side But it moved on and left us here Wasn't it good, good just the way it was Wasn't it good, before we first tasted loss When it felt real, and not too good to be true When we were young and free, and unafraid And when time was on our side Wasn't it good, as long as we still had hope And firmly believed, that we had the strength to cope With whatever would come and stand in our way When we thought the life ahead of us Would unfold to our demands
