about

You've got to hear the soaring chorus in this song!

A deeply personal song about a tragedy that led to victory and blessings.

Be sure to check out the “H.T.W.O. mix” that Dark River did at rockettangerine.com featuring H.T.W.O. on the verses. H.T.W.O. captures the heart of the song with such clever lyrics that Dark River had to release the “H.T.W.O. mix”.

lyrics

Song Lyrics:
So I 'm thinking of days that are brighter.
I can think of love and mercy...forgiving, forgetting...so it's like you were never here.

Verse1:
For seven years or seven days...it doesn't really mater 'cause, you turned and walked away. The friend I had for all those years...just a hope and a fantasy, and now a distant memory.
I don't like to think this way. Maybe that's why I didn't realize that me and you were never meant to be. And I don't like to think these things. But I know that it's good for me to live in reality.

Chorus 1:
So I'm thinking of days that are brighter, and I'm thinking of things that were meant to be. I can think of love and mercy...forgiving, forgetting...so it's like you were never here.

Verse 2:
From a distance memories seem to be fading, but the feelings just don't seem to change. And it hurts to know the friend I knew so well...(oh well)...oh, was never there.

Chorus 2:
So I'm thinking of days that are brighter, and I'm thinking of things that were meant to be. I can think of love and mercy...forgiving, forgetting...so it's like you were never here.

Bridge:
You ought to think about it twice before you hurt someone you said you love. You might find you were wrong but now it's to late, the damage is done. But brighter days are coming with forgiving and forgetting...it's like you were never here.

Chorus 3/out:
So I'm thinking of days that are brighter, and I'm thinking of things that were meant to be. I can think of love and mercy...forgiving, forgetting...so it's like you were never here.

So I'm thinking of days that are brighter, and I'm thinking of things that are better. And I think on things that will make me stronger. So, I need to be further from you than I've ever been.

So I'm thinking of days that are brighter, and I'm thinking of things that are better. I can think on things that will make me stronger. So, I need to be closer to God than I've ever been.
