That was then

"That was then" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Decimus. The song is about reflecting on a failed relationship and how it makes the protagonist of this fiction feel, now that they are getting older. The character in this song is the same character being spoken to by the singer in the next song on the album, "This is now".

Lyrics

We had potential
Ten out of ten
We had so much going for us
But that was then

The years are starting to run by
So damned fast
I want to catch up and to try
Not living in the past

Things became rocky
I'm not sure when
I had so much invested
But that was then

A rollercoaster of emotions
Taking its toll
All I wanted to do was to get off
And take control

But if time heals like they
Say it does
I'll be all right in the end
And I'll fall in love
