Wasn't It Good
Everon Lyrics

Focused on the things we're missing
We tend to concentrate on the things we don't have rather than being grateful for what we do have.

Ignoring everything we've got
We often take for granted the blessings we do have in our life and fail to acknowledge them.

A thousand doors that stand wide open
Although there may be numerous opportunities available to us, they may not be enough to compensate for one opportunity that we miss.

Won't make up for just one that's shut
Sometimes, all it takes is one missed opportunity to overshadow all the available opportunities.

Seeking nearness from the distance
We often long for closeness with someone who is far away from us, rather than appreciate the present company of those who are closer to us.

But scared whenever it comes close
We tend to shy away from closeness with others when they draw near, due to the fear of vulnerability and potential hurt.

Frozen hearts exposed too briefly
We may be hesitant to reveal our true feelings and emotions, and when we do, it may be only for a short period before we retreat back into our shell.

To the sun to melt the floes
We may only show our vulnerability to others when we feel safe and comfortable, just like how the sun only melts ice when the temperature is right.

All my secrets, dreams and wishes
Everything that is important to us, our deepest thoughts, desires, and aspirations, are shared with the person we trust the most.

Freely laid into your hands
We hand over our trust and vulnerability to the person we love, hoping that they will cherish it and not betray it.

My faith and my self-esteem
Our belief in ourselves and our confidence is largely influenced by the opinions and actions of the person we love.

Rise and fall at your command
Our self-esteem and confidence can be easily boosted or shattered depending on the actions and words of our partner.

All my nerves and all my senses
Our psychological and physical responses are controlled by our feelings towards our partner.

In constant state of red alert
We are always on high alert, always prepared for the emotional and physical reaction resulting from our partner's actions or words.

A mind in pointless, restless motion
Our thoughts and emotions run rampant, with no clear direction or focus, making it impossible to feel at peace with ourselves or our relationships.

A body hopelessly inert
We may feel emotionally and physically drained, making it difficult to live and enjoy life as it once was.

Hiding behind walls of silence
Sometimes, we shut down communication with our partner, keeping our emotions and thoughts hidden rather than expressing them openly.

When there would have been so much to say
There may be a lot that we want to say, but we don't due to fear, uncertainty, or vulnerability.

Whoever said Silence is golden
The person who came up with the phrase 'silence is golden' clearly never experienced the benefits of open and honest communication in a relationship.

For sure he'd never come our way
The person who coined the phrase may have never experienced the struggles and challenges that come with a relationship, so their advice may not be applicable to us.

Nostalgia is a dangerous poison
Reflecting too fondly on the past without acknowledging the present can lead to negative consequences.

If mixed with bitterness and grief
Looking back with regret or sadness can taint our memory of the past and affect our emotional well-being in the present.

Makes the past look so much brighter
When we compare our current situation to the past, we may start to believe that those times were better and forget the challenges that we faced.

Forms illusions of relief
We may create false hope for ourselves by believing that the past can be recreated or that we can relive the happy moments again.

Makes what's lost still seem an option
We may hold onto a lost love or missed opportunity, thinking that it can be regained or revisited, leading to disappointment and frustration.

Though it failed the test of time
We may be tempted to try again with something or someone that failed in the past, ignoring the lesson of time passing and how it changes things.

Pretends the years have done no damage
We may hold onto the past with the belief that no harm has been done and that time has no negative consequences.

That we're still in our prime
We may believe that we are still young and capable of doing what we did in the past, failing to acknowledge the physical, emotional, and mental changes that aging can bring.

In life we get a thousand chances
In life, opportunities and second chances are always available to us, but they may become more limited as we age.

But less they get with every year
The passage of time can make opportunities and chances less likely to happen, making it all the more important to grab them while they are still available.

We hoped that time would be on our side
We may have believed that we had more time to do what we wanted or needed to do, but time waits for no one and can often be unexpected.

But it moved on and left us here
Time moves at its own pace, and we must learn to adapt and live with the consequences of its passage.

When it felt real, and not too good to be true
Looking back, we may realize that the moments we cherish were the ones where everything felt genuine and authentic, without any suspicion or doubt.

When we were young and free, and unafraid
Our youthful naivety and carefree spirit allowed us to live life fully and without worry or fear, making those moments all the more special.

And when time was on our side
At a certain point in our lives, we may have felt that we had an abundance of time, which allowed us to be more exploratory, adventurous, or spontaneous.

As long as we still had hope
Despite the challenges and setbacks we faced, what kept us going was the hope that things could get better, that happiness could be found.

And firmly believed, that we had the strength to cope
Our self-confidence and belief that we had the inner strength to overcome any obstacle or challenge gave us the resilience to keep going.

With whatever would come and stand in our way
We knew that challenges and obstacles would come our way, but we were determined to face them head-on and not let them defeat us.

When we thought the life ahead of us
At that moment in time, we believed that life was full of infinite possibilities, that anything was achievable, and that our potential was limitless.

Would unfold to our demands
Our expectations of life were high, and we believed that we could shape our future according to our desires and dreams.
