THE WAY IT USED TO BE
Do you remember when we bonded together
And we promised each other that it would last forever?
Forever must have ended today
When you said good-bye and walked away.

Sometimes, I wonder where you've been
And just how long it'll be until I see you again.
I now wonder where you are
And wonder if you know you're still in my heart.

I thought that you'd always be my friend
Until the day you said it was the end.
Before you left, I'd always dream of our life together,
And now that you're gone, I no longer believe in forever.

If I saw you ten years from now, would you still remember me?
And would it be again the way it used to be?
I thought that you loved me
And I hope you still do, and I wonder can it be again the way it used to be?
