That Was Than This is Now Lyrics

She was sitting on the front porch swing

Sad song on the radio

She watched me driving up the road

I felt the tears come down

Ya see I haven't been around

I had to face the seeds I'd sewn

She said you've been gone for days and days

I can't live this way

Did I do something wrong

I got down on my knees

and held her in my arms

I said I'm sorry for the lies

Oh please take me back

Those things are gone

Cause That was then

This is now

I'll make it up to you some how

Prove to you without a doubt

That was then

This is now

It's hard for a young man

To grow up to soon

That load can drive him to the ground

You looked up to me

But the man I said I'd be

Ran away and let you down

I said I know that we've been down this road a thousand times

I've broken every promise

I know you've heard every line

But That was then

This is now

I'll make it up to you some how

Prove to you without a doubt

That was then

This is now

Prove to you without a doubt

That was then

This is now
