Everon - Wasn't It Good lyrics

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
