When you saw my heart exploding You said forever was very near I was the man that you had chosen I thought an angel had appeared You held me close The scent of a rose Who could have known… But, something in you would change That was then This is now You turned your heart around somehow I’m not the joke when you laugh I’ve seen it all in the past you think I’ve fallen apart for another broken heart Don’t be so sure… You’re not that smart… I’m standing higher than a mountain I hear you howling just like the wind I’ll drink up the ocean like a fountain I’ll be the best I’ve ever been I’m not funny You’re just kind of mean You think the grass over there is so green I’m not the joke when you laugh I’ve seen it all in the past you think I’ve fallen apart I’ve gotten good at broken hearts I’m standing higher than a mountain I hear you howling like the wind I’ll drink up the ocean like a fountain I’ll be the best I’ve ever been That was then This is now You turned your heart around somehow It all looks funny in your eyes And I’ve come to realize Sometimes a rose was meant to die
