I didn't know he blocked the light
And kept it going just for him
It should have ended long before
The memories faded fast and dim
But that's different now,
Those curses gone,
The way he lied to start-
Whenever I look back I say
It's better we're apart.
...
Anticipation on my face
The laughter shared with you,
When we first met I never thought
Someday you'd have me too
It's different now,
Our friendship strong,
The way you were my guide-
Whenever I look back I say
We're still here, side by side.
You saw me fall and heaved me up
Because you fell akin.
Everything changed in those few days
Through the pain we felt within.
But you're different now,
Your tears can fall,
The way you held me near-
Whenever I look back I say
There's nothing I can fear.
You shared with me your secrets past
Our trust is real and true
And every part of who I am
Can lead me back to you
I'm different now,
My heart benign,
The way you changed my goal-
Whenever I look back I say
You purified my soul.
We promised we'd endure the storms
Because of how we'd grown
But the emptiness washed over us
And made me feel alone.
I was prepared to leave you there
But then your words reached me.
The softer glow deep in your eyes
Said something I could see.
It's different now,
Your voice is clear
The way you weren't afraid
Whenever I look back I say
My care for you won't fade.
And we're different now,
The stars all shine,
The way we smashed the walls-
Whenever I look back I say
The best love never falls.
