Something in his eyes reminded me of you
With that troubled look upon his face
Walking down the hill.
I caught a glimpse of who you used to be
Ever since that day
Every time I’ve been hurt, I’ve grown stronger
Those aren’t just pretty words dressed up to sound good
It really happened that way
But the past I chose to let go of
Still lingers somewhere inside my heart
And I can’t completely leave it behind
Sometimes I wonder.
If, back then,
I hadn’t traded love for reality,
Would I still be there beside you now?
The first time that I met you
I could hardly believe my eyes
It felt as though you’d stepped out of my dreams
And into the real world
We spent so much time together
Swept away on dazzling adventures
But somewhere along the way
The worlds we lived in drifted apart
Ever since that day
Every time I’ve been hurt, I’ve grown stronger
That isn’t an excuse
It really happened that way
I traded love for strength
But still,
The future I let go of that day
Lingers somewhere inside my heart
And I can’t completely leave it behind
Sometimes I wonder.
If, back then,
I hadn’t traded dreams for reality,
Would I still be happy now?
Until I can no longer feel the pain
I still can’t sing that song
Something in his eyes reminded me of you
With that troubled look upon his face
Walking down the hill.
I caught a glimpse of who you used to be
