For Old Times' Sake - Marketa Irglova

Hold me tight

But just for tonight

And not as tight as before

We’re not that close anymore

At least not in that way

We’ve drifted further apart with each day

We have waited it out just to see

If we could love one another casually

But I have been a good friend to you

I’ve always been there for you

You say you don’t know

Where did the people we used to be go?

You say you don’t understand

Whatever made me let go of your hand

But you never asked me to stay

And if you wanted me to you did not say

Now for old times' sake

Go ahead and repeat that mistake

'Cause the moment is passed now

I’ve stopped counting the days somehow

Let it be what it is

Though we never intended for it to turn into this

We had something good that did not last

Let’s not be constantly re-living the past

I have nothing but love for you

Though you’ve often questioned how that could be true

Well, you better start believing me

If you ever wish to set yourself free

From this long and drawn out process

Of letting go

While this grief and regret

Has kept your spirit low
