Wasn't It Good - Everon

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
