Why Now

(album: The Other Side - 1997)

Somewhere off
In a distant dream
You were long ago
Like a memory

Now you're back
Standing here
Saying all the words
You think I want to hear

Did you finally realize
What I knew all along
That you never needed me
Until I was gone

[Chorus]

Why now
Should I turn my life around
Just to let you bring me down
Another time
Oh, why now
After all the years apart
Should I open up my heart
And let you in my life again

Everything, that I tried to forget
Thought I left behind, guess it ain't over yet
And babe, it's almost worth all the pain
Just to look in your eyes and hold you again
You never realized how much I tried
To let you know what I was feeling inside

[Repeat Chorus]

Hold on, cause it's starting all over
Hold on, cause it won't be the same
Hold on, letting go would be better
Letting go of the pain

[Bridge]

How did you think I would be
Waiting for you for an eternity
[Repeat Chorus]
