Now and Then

I’m mourning for the past
And I’m so glad it’s over
May the good and the bad lie
Where it always should’ve been
Through my rose-tinted glasses
Don’t seem as sweet as it used to
'Cause my heart was a castle
But time is a battle
And nobody wins
Sometimes I wish I could start again
So I wear my heart like a ball and chain
But I still dream of you now and then
But I guess some things never change
I’m too young to be wise
And I’m too old to still know so little
So I repeat these lies
In the hopes it’ll help me forget
All the moments of weakness
Words that have left me so bitter
But if time is a warning
I still ain’t sure
Which side I’m on yet
Sometimes I wish I could start again
So I wear my heart like a ball and chain
But I still dream of you now and then
But I guess some things never change
So I seek my redemption
From the God I’m not sure I believe in
And I sell my affection
Till there’s nothing left in my chest
We don’t need to be saviors
Need something we can hold onto
'Cause time is a battle
That you fight with yourself
Time is a battle
You fight with yourself
Sometimes I wish I could start again
So I wear my heart like a ball and chain
But I still dream of you now and then
But I guess some things never change
(Sometimes I wish I could start again
So I wear my heart like a ball and chain)
But I still dream of you now and then
But I guess some things never change
