That Was Then

I would lie awake and cry at nightBut that was then and this is nowI had an anger that was strong enoughAnd I would face the things I run from nowAnd everything we did was wonderfulNow it's practical and I don't know howAll the moves we made were done for loveNow it's not enough it seems somehowAnd all the feeling that I knew would lastWell they are gone where are they nowAnd you were beautiful and dangerousAnd now you've sacrificed some sacred cowAnd I would listen to the things you saidThey all made sense why don't they nowNot a penny in our pockets thenWe never worried so why do we nowStanding tall against my destinyOh I had visions and I could seeI would walk a thousand miles for youBut that was the, that was thenAnd this ins now, this is nowLook at me nowThis is nowOver decades things are changing meI have no energy where am I nowToo many people seem in need of meWhen I was younger I felt so freeCan you see the things I care aboutThey are not important now time has run outAnd only memories are left with meThis shallow history becomes my destinyI would lie awake and cry all nightThat was then this is nowThis is now
