Looking back never gets you far, it's no use living in the past
But it sure is hard letting go of memories, oh how they last
I close my eyes and drift away into a world that might have been
With no regrets I see myself and the way that I was then

Sometimes it seems like yesterday, sometimes it seems like years
Since this empty aching feeling replaced rivers of tears
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wonder how you are
And not a day goes by that I don't wish that you could give me back my heart

Every time you looked at me I saw promises in your eyes
And when you turned and walked away my heart heard your goodbyes
But still I waited and told myself you weren't the hurting kind
Now I wonder if you think of me and if I ever cross your mind

I know there's a time for moving on and a time for letting go
In my mind I know it's time, how I wish that made it so
You're gone and I'm forgotten and we're miles and miles apart
And not a day goes by that I don't wish that you could give me back my heart
